My opinion having done a coil lift (2.5") with the compressors and a 4" lift without, is to do it without. Those things are a pain in the Arse. Grab a buddy or two and you should be fine..

Disconnect the shock.. put it high on the stands an you'll be fine.

No need for compressors. I did a 2" spacer lift by myself with no problems. I did use ratchet straps on the passenger front coil only because I was too lazy to disconnect the track bar.
