Default 79 front springs questions

Hi there I had a couple questions about installing the front springs.
1. What is the correct method for installing the springs?
2. Are there any tricks to installing them?
Thanks for the help

You should have a pickle fork to split the control arms from the spindle assembly, and also a set of spring compressors to compress the spring when you go back in. If you've never done a set of springs it's not something you should tackle without assistance from someone who has. If the springs get away from you coming out or going in you could lose a finger, tooth, or even kill yourself!
I could go into all the steps, but I don't want to aid in you possibly getting hurt. Get some good help!
