    4- Jack up driver's side tire a little to articulate.
    5- Flip coil
    6- Re-assemble

    Is that the correct plan of attack?
    If it were me, I would...

    Jack up the rear end high enough to provide full droop of the rear suspension.
    Set the frame on jack-stands.
    Remove the tires.
    Remove the lower shock mounts.
    (Being able to lift & lower the axle with a floor jack makes getting the lower shock mounts off much easier.)
    Apply some downward pressure (Brittany, here's where you help) on the top of the axle & the spring should come out with a little pull.
    Reverse process to install.
    I've never found it necessary to disassemble the sway bar or any of the other suspension components other than the lower shock mounts.

    But I haven't tried to install a 2" spacer without all the disassembly you mentioned earlier.
    However, I have done this install with a 1" spacer, & disco'd nothing more than the lower shock mounts.
