I can raise the regulator to "way up" install the spring, lowering the window and winding up the spring? Something like that?

Yes, the spring is compressed in the "down" position. But installation is more complicated than you describe. If I remember correctly there are holes in the regulator gears that line up with holes in the main regulator - placing a screwdriver there secures the arms while the spring is installed.
I can't recall if I learned how to do it properly from a thread here on this site, a YouTube video, or from the instructions that came with a new regulator. Either way, I don't remember enough to give you a detailed walk-through via text I'm afraid.
