Spring compressors, otherwise you'll be looking for your ratchet in next doors garden when you undo the top nut.

The only other special tool needed to strip suspension is a ball joint splitter.

And be careful with the spring compressors - they can be very dangerous if not secured correctly.

A 2 or 3 legged puller is also helpful if I recall.
