Just mind the brake flexi pipes though. You can undo the flexi pipe holder on the trailing arm for plenty of room.

Dunno if my original shocks had been replaced with LWB ones before i changed them, or if the SWB is different (the rear of the truck was actually quite high anyway) but they wouldn't come out on their own. I put moderate weight on the wheel hub, but I didn't fancy standing/jumping on it to force it lower than it wanted to go.

Also, i did one side at a time (i.e. shock still connected on the opposite side) rather than both sides together - maybe that would have made a difference?
