pull sway bar, shocks, maybe track bar and fully droop out your front axle, maybe flex out your axle (it will give you a little more work room) install your coil spacer and then you may need some help getting your coil back in but its straight forward... I've done it a few times on my own

I have never installed them before, so I just wanted to see what the best way and how big of a project it would be. Thanks Guys

It's just like putting new coils in if you have ever done that. You will need a front end allignment afterwards by the way.
