2 inch coil spacer install

I am about to install a set of 2 inch coil spacers and was wondering what the best way to go about it was? Any first timer tips would be great!!

You can unbolt all the stuff in the front like the tie rod, the trackbar and the sway bar links and lower it on a jack until the springs get slack.
I dunno how possible it would be to lower the axle and use spring compressors.
If you do use compressors, Id back them up with tie-down straps just in case. Dont put your hands above them if you can avoid it.
