They are long springs. You will need ext brake lines. Find a way to get a spring compressor on them and work them in. You may also need to put the oem jack between the bump stop and the axle to push them apart farther.

I'm not sure how much longer those exact type springs are but I just installed the Icon 2" springs a few weeks ago. As ebg18t stated, I used my factory jack to spread it open.

Maybe short term, but with springs that long you really need longer brake lines. You may want an adjustable track bar too.

oh yeah, the trac bar - you'll see it runs from the frame (on the pass side) to the axle on the driver side. disconnect it on the driver side. use a floor jack under the brake rotor on one side to flex the axle and open up the other side. then if you have to use spring compressors, use compressors.

I'm with Zak, if you have both springs out support the pumpkin with a jack stand in the center and use your jack to raise up the opposite side from where you are working

Please don't! Haha if you have the trucks frame supported by jack stands it is an extremely easy install.
