Lifting F150

I'm looking to level out the front of my 94 ext. cab and was wondering how hard it is to put some new coils up front. I can just undue everything and stand on the hub to get it to fall out? Will i need a spring compressor do get the new spring in? Will i need new shocks and an alignment afterwards? I'm tired of my 4X4 truck having a rake.

Its easy all you got to do is swap out the coils. Get some spring compressors and go have at it.
