A few tips:
Take the bracket behind the #6 injector off first. It's a PITA and it's easiet to remove from the bottom. That should be the only time you're under the truck.
Make sure the injectors and the connector tubes both "snap" into place. It'll take a little pressure to get the injectors in.
I didn't have the special tools to do it and didn't have a problem. The connector tubes pulled out easily by hand. The injectors took a large screwdriver prying up a little bit at a time on each side.
One set of those instructions tells you to remove the valve cover riser and the other doesn't mention it. It needs to be removed to properly tighten the connector tube nuts. I removed it after I took the injectors out because it gave me something to pry against.
Make sure you have an inch pounds torque wrench and a 24mm wrench before starting. Tighten everything to according to the instructions.
It was a fairly straightforward job and took me about 3.5 hours using air tools. Take your time and make sure everything is done right or you'll be taking it back apart for something simple!

Another thing to think about - why only replace two injectors? Chances are that if two are bad the others aren't far behind. Certainly other factors such as milage and mods will have an effect but I would be hesitant to only replace two.
