Easy way to R&R front coil spring?

Hey guys, I'm gonna pull the coils out of the front so I can cut them down to see what coil I need to buy.
So I'm thinking, I'm gonna chain the coil, pop the upper ball joint off, cut the coil, re-install coil, then, using a floor jack, lift the spindle onto the upper ball joint. Is this the best way?
Also I have 2'' drop pocket lwr control arms do you think 2 coils would be too much? I'm going to do 1 coil first and see where that gets me. As you can see I need at least 2'' off the stance.
Or is there a better way? Other than bags, I have very little in the project acct.
