whats the easiest way to install 2" front drop coils?

I've ordered 2" drop front coils from ECE and hoping they will come in tomorrow. Got the truck on stands and wheels off and am soaking all the bolts in PB now. Ball joints and front suspension parts are all working well now, and I will be replacing the front suspension with a disc brake setup in the next year, so no need to do preventative maintenance right now.

Do I put on coil spring compressors, unhook the lower ball joint, drop the spindle with a jack, then remove the spring? I'm also gonna put a chain on the spring, so if it goes "boing" it will stay with the truck, and not decapitate me.

Thanks!
