i drove up on my rhino ramps to raise my truck, then i took the gas cap off, and had a bunch of rags ready under the truck.
here is the filter, located on the drivers side frame rail:
first you have to disconnect the safety catch on both sides of the filter:
here is a pic of the new filter and the "tools"

here is the line removal tool that you'll use:
it clips on the fuel filter, then slides into the fuel line. once its in, you'll have to pull the fuel line off of the old filter. (make sure you have some of those rags handy, the filter still has gas in it.)
here is the old filter & part number:
stoopid frame rail grease.. $@#!%*
after disconnecting the old filter, replace it with the new one (the bracket is bolted to the frame, the filter just slides out) and replace fuel lines. push on each one till you hear it *click*. then replace the safety catch.

I would recommend letting the truck sit overnight and/or releasing the fuel pressure. There's a Schraeder valve on the passenger side fuel rail that is easily accessible. It's covered with a black plastic cap.

The valve is on the passenger side fuel rail. It's about where the the cowl starts. It looks like a little straw coming off the top of hte fuel rail. A Schreader valve is the same type as on tires. In this case, just unscrew the cap. Then there's this little piece of rubber to pull off - or it may come off with the cap. Finally, with a rag around/over the valve, press the pin in the middle. I used an Allen wrench to press the pin.
