You don't need to buy one. Many shops like meinekie muffler will swap the shocks for you. Of course you'll have to pay them.

I should mention that you will need a spring compressor to dis-assemble the front struts - safely.
edit: this assumes you are doing the installation yourself.

A utility knife. Before you begin, Score the camber bolt to the housing. This way you can put you caber back to original settings without paying for an alignment.
