No need to remove springs, its basic like you've read, unbolt both, roll the new one under drill 2 holes where bolts to frame and finish installing all other parts. No need to tear any of it down intially altough brake pads, seals, wheel bearings etc... are now a good time to replace plus any other questionable parts, be sure to have some tie rod boots on hand for any you damage.
