A little update:

Scrambler, I'm sorry you had a negative experience with RockAuto.Com, but I've had nothing but positive! All of my parts came in, the boxes a little mangled but none of the parts were damaged, everything was there. And the best news? They came in 3 days!! I selected fedex ground at checkout because it was the cheapest option, and the estimated delivery date was Monday and the FedEx express date was today...and I got my shocks yesterday and everything else today!! Tomorrow I'm going to go buy a grease gun and grease, and another socket set or an adjustable wrench for the rack and pinion because I ain't got sockets that big lol. I want to try to save money on the wheel bearings because they're about 1 1/2 years old, maybe just repack them, but I'll have to look at them when I get into it. Will I need to rent a spring compressor to get the spring out, or will I be able to safely remove it since I'm doing the lower control arm as well? Tomorrow is gonna be fun!!
