You have a PM

For a +2 kit you should be ok. The rear is easy as the axle rocks centrally.
On the front use a small bottle jack between the radius arm and chassis. This will push the axle down and the spring will go in un-compressed. Do not over stretch the brake pipes. If you are fitting + brake pipes undo these first then you have loads of room. I fitted +3"s with standard hoses still on. clamp the pipes to save mess. Renew the fluid using a pump prior to bleeding.
This is about 3 hrs work. You may want a pedal monkey when bleeding brakes. Soak all bolts over night in WD40 , this makes it easier ! :D

Bulli:
or a mighty vac....much better and quicker!

Bulli:
