Do them one at a time! Uppers first as they are the easiest. The lowers require the shocks and sway links be removed and for safety a spring compressor applied. Watch your brake lines, that they dont get kinked. Also put the tires under the vehicle for double safety. You'll be fine. And post us some pics along the way!

Lets do the top first. With the wheel safely under the frame. Remove the cotter pin for the upper bj stud. Loosten the nut until it is even with the end of the stud. Spray some penetrating oil under the nut between the upright. You will need a ball joint seperator ( not a pickle fork if you intend to use the old BJ). Press this between the upper and lower BJ stud. If expanding the BJ press doesnt loosten the upper BJ stud wack the spindle upright perpendicular and near to the BJ stud with a BFH. If still stuck a little heat from a MAP torch and more force will move it.
My battery is dieing I'll post later.
