How difficult to change shocks on your own?
How hard/easy is it to change your own shocks? I'm thinking about doing the rear myself to save a few bucks.

Occasionally it is a pain in the @$$ because rusty shock bolts usually have to be torched out, but on a '97 that won't be an issue. Shocks, especially rears, are the easiest thing you will ever replace on your truck. The first time i ever changed a pair of shocks it only took me 45 minutes.
