Springs really aren't that hard to do at all, its pretty straightforward. Im not sure how you could mess it up. Although LIC does deserve a +1 for their work.

i think because it requires a spacial took to hold the spring until you install the strut on it. that did not look easy to me when they installed mine on. nothing i want to do alone without the proper tools and experience.

if you have to do it yourself, just go rent a spring compressor from autozone.

The spring compressor is pretty basic not much to it. You just hook it on the springs and tighten it down when your taking them off the strut. You can rent it for free from autozone or buy one for 20$. I do not consider myself mechanically inclined at all and me and my pops did no problem. Really the only thing i would make sure to remind someone is to remember to torque down every bolt to its specifications.
