It took 300-400 miles for it all to settle in and now have a solid ride and the increase in clearance.

This is how I did mine. And yes, it was scary. I would never do it again. Booster's recommendation of a spring compressor makes sense and should be much safer. With a spring compressor I might consider doing it myself. That's why I recommend you find a shop to do it.
