Shouldn't need an air hammer. Just a 3-5lb hammer and a punch. Heat them up until they're red if they dont budge. Thats what I did. Just be careful not to catch the carpet on fire. Took about 30 minutes to knock all 4 out.

S10 leafs are common. Shocks depend on how much lift and travel you get

It is sitting a little higher than intended, I was expecting 2 - 2 1/2" and it is sitting closer to 3 1/2" higher than before. All of my web surfing seemed to point me at a new set of JK shocks at factory height but I am concerned about that 1" difference.
