Re-post Spring Install FAQ clarification 700

I posted a few days ago and didn't make my self clear.

I have new springs to install, and installed my new shocks 6 months ago.

The FAQ says to jack up the car, remove the shocks, disconnect the anti-sway bar, and then to the springs.

Do I have to do all that, or can I just jack up the car, unbolt the spring retainer, and swap them out easy peasey?

I don't see the point in doing anything more than taking the pressure off the springs by jacking up the car. How do I know how high is just right?

Thanks,
Will
