It's also a good idea to wrap a chain through the spring and lower control arm just for safety in case the jack slips and the spring comes out under pressure.

I've seen one at least 20-30 ft in the air.

Good idea for the first timer...however, personally I've never had an issue wih removing coils from the front-ends...Mabey because in my side on town, all the springs were heated !! (JK)
