I'd suggest that you do the rear shocks first for the simple reason that they are relatively easy to do and there is little chance for failure.

The front shocks are a PITA because of the restricted space, the requirement for a 1/4" drive, 10mm, 12 point socket and universal joint, and the risk of snapping the screws that secure the shock to the lower control arm.

Do yourself an extreme favor and soak the screws in Kroil for a few days before making the attempt. Some heat will also assist. This is a procedure where knowing the limit for applied torque is very valuable. Snapping those screws will ruin your day.
