Biggest tip--work safely, and make sure that you have the ball joint puller--basically a modified c-clamp--since it will make sense to do all that sh*t at once, and make the job a little easier, along with the air tools as Steve suggested. An impact wrench will be your best friend here. And it only takes a few hours from start to finish.
If all else fails, or you just don't feel like doing it, just pay someone or the dealer. Go out, enjoy yourself for a few hours, then come back and pick up your now-lowered bad-ass looking ride....just an option...
I wish I could tell you some secret short-cuts, but I couldn't find any. Last thing, get an alignment ASAP...
