Default New Coils

I'm helping my buddy swap in some 2" lift coils into his '96 cherokee. I've never done coils on a jeep before, so I just wanted to make sure I've got it straight. From what I've figured out, I need to remove, the shocks and the sway bar, and I may need a coil compressor to remove/install the springs. Also He is replacing the shocks so that is a no brainer. Anyway, Do I have everything right? Figure the rest will be fairly straight forward. Thanks!

If you do some research you'll find a more in depth explination but baisically your going to want to do what you said, then jack the side of the axle opposite of the spring your working with as high as it will go so the opposite side(the one your working with) will go down really low. If you do that you can get the stock springs out with out a compressor and the 2" ones in with a compressor no problem.
