Yeah I would get the proper suspension tools, doesn't have to be that tool kit but the right tools always makes life easier. You can make a torsion bar remover just make sure not to nick the bar itself. I actually had to get longer bolts to get 1.12 bars in. I used needle nose pliers to get the clips off the torsion bars I never had lock rings. New boots would be nice to have. I would remove everything in one piece also.
