Stock springs are fairly easy to remove, but a Moroso spring (much taller) could be dangerous without care taken.
I usually get the front end up off the ground and put jack stands in place under the frame. Remove the front tires, front shock, lower control arm bumper and sway bar end link from lower control arm. Remove outer tie rod end from spindle. Install tool on spring and tighten slightly. If a Moroso spring is in place, the spring will have to be compressed quite a ways. I then place a roll away hydraulic jack under the lower control arm, placed very close to the lower ball joint, prior to removing the ball joint nut. Release ball joint from spindle with a ball joint tool or by striking spindle at ball joint. After ball joint is free from spindle, SLOWLY lower control arm and remove spring. Spring may have to be further compressed prior to removal.
