This is a dangerous job if you do not have the proper equipment for compressing the spring that is around the rear shock. I do not recomend performing this job without the proper equipment. Unloading the spring without it compressed can cuase injury.
If you have the proper equipment this is how you do it.
REMOVAL - SHOCK ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Access for the nuts attaching the rear shock assembly upper mount to the vehicle is through the inside of the trunk.

IT DEFINATELY CAN BUT IT WILL THROW OFF YOUR ALIGNMENT AND TIRES FOREVER.ANY REALIGNMENT WOULD BE A GUESS ! ASK A DEALER ABOUT THAT ONE AND GET A WARRANTEE WITH IT.

Hi,
If you are planning to do this via shade tree like mysef, I have used a hydraulic floor jack on one end of the leaf spring touse the weight of the truck to depress the spring enough to pull the spring bolt out. It's a bit tricky... be very cautious if you do this.

There's a clip holding the spring on the bottom a arm. Take that off then carefully jack the truck up on that side. You'll have to go pretty high and you might need a spring compressor. I can tell you from experience that you should keep your face away from the spring when using a compressor tool. They tend to slip off sometimes.
