Hey guys, what the best order to do this in? Shock out first or spring our first on the rear?

Well, you'll have to disconnect the rear shock to drop the lower control arm enough to remove the spring, so may as well remove shock then spring, and install spring then shock.

After actually looking at what it takes to do each job separately, the answer should be pretty self explanatory.
