The S10s dont make much difference but obviously the newer they are the less chance of them sagging from use in the pick up. The Dakota 4WD ones are prefered but again any year will work.
For the front the Jeep ZJ V8 springs can be used but will need a spacer to get 3" out of them. A member here makes the spacers out of steel and the others are hard rubber, Your choice. See Howler GTs stuff in the vendor section of this site.

i would say the standard suspension tools and a die grinder with a couple cutoff wheels. a hammer, sockets, suspension fork set, and to make it way more easy, an impact wrench and a can of pb blaster, rust break free spray.

ALSO:

1. Band-aids
2. Frothy beverage
3. Somewhere to "go scream"

IF you have enough of #2...you don't need #1 -or- #3
