I think it's even easier to install the shocks and springs at the same time.
All you have to do is have the aftermarket springs already on the new shocks and then they'll just swap em out. They won't have to take the stock springs OFF the stock shocks to put the aftermarket ones on.Then do that whole process again when you get your shocks.
If you were paying me to do it, I would rather you had the shock and springs ready.

it takes approx. five hours to do the install if it is your first time provided you got all the necessary tools. i've been there and done that. DIY save your money.

I still say if you are going to pay a shop to do the work, and you plan on getting shocks in the future, just bite the bullet now and do it all at once.

But the point still remains, do it all at once. If I was a shop I'd curse someone for coming back and charge that person twice.
