Here's a writeup on how to change the shocks on a 2nd gen Explorer.
We have a forum Called "Useful Threads" that you should get aquainted with. It has alot of "useful" information on how to do things. Check it out.

The add-a-leaf shouldn't be a problem as you aren't replacing anything, but adding the add-a-leaf. I've never used an add-a-leaf, but I would think that you would have to jack the truck up high enough to take the load off the rear springs, then bolt the add-a-leafs on.
