Default special tools needed for 6.0 spark plug change?

this is a 2008 with the 6.0 and plugs/wires are due

are there any special tools that make this easier, especially in the more difficult to reach plugs?

and how often are you guys replacing coils on the 6.0?
this has 95,000 miles on it but 15 years old..

thanks!

replace the coils when they fail.
spark plug socket with a swivel or ujoint
good set of spark plug wire pullers.
put dielectric grease on the inside circle of the plug wire boot where it contacts the ceramic insulator
