5100 Installation Help

Brand new member/first time posting so forgive me if this is a question with an obvious answer. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I've recently purchased an 02 tacoma in need of new shocks. After reading review after review raving about the 5100s I went out and ordered them intending to install the shocks myself. Ive got no worries about putting in the rear shocks but I'm not sure if I'll need a spring compressor (which I don't have access to) to put on the front ones. If anybody's got an answer and any tips for me it'd be greatly appreciated!

But the safe way would be to use the spring compressor

 

Thanks for the answer and the welcome! Appreciated
