AMBITION / SHOCKS & BALL JOINTS

I am a new owner of a 1992 900S. I bought with it the Bentley manual, a new tool set and the idea of keeping it maintained myself.
I would like to tighten up the ride a bit, I notice a clunking sound on bumps, which I suspect might be the shock bushings.
I don't have a whole lot of experience with mechanicals, but the irrational side of me bought 4 new BOGE shocks for the car, along with poly bushings.
QUESTION: Are shocks something a "weekend mechanic" should attempt? If so, what kind of suggestions can be offered? FINALLY, would changing the ball joints be much harder? I could change them while I'm under there....or am I just being too ambitious?
