Yes.... A spring compressor and your life will be easy... It took me about 45 minutes to do each side with the spring compresor... Other than that it is really simple unbolt the shocks and shock towers and put the spacer in and bolt it back up.. Passenger side is pretty easy driver's side is a little more complicated with some junk in the way but takes about 15 minutes more or so....

Also jack the truck up and put mounts under the frame and let the front end hang if possible...

Unhook the track bar & anti-sway bar or leave them hooked up during install?

That is the same kit I have on my truck. It will come with directions on how to do it. Yes be sure and unhook your track bar and sway bar.

You don't need a spring compressor. Just get the truck high enough to drop the axle all the way down to till the link bars stop it. The spacer and spring will go right in. Should take about an hour.

Tried that and it still wouldn't work that's when I got the spring compressor it was a free rental from an auto parts store so it made life soooo much easier...
