Default tools needed?

i need to know what tools are needed to do spark plugs on a 95 zj. 4.0 i6
I have the spark lug socket and wrench my question is i guess is, will a 3 inch extension be enough to reach the #1 and 6 spark plug?

you will need flex extension to get the #1. It is behind air compressor. Reach to #6 is pain in the butt, but can be done with 3 inch.
