Default Spring Install

Installing my lowering springs this coming weekend.
few questions?
Do I need to remove the tie rod end off of the spindle to get the front spring out? Or can I get away w/ just removing the strut/caliper/swaybar bushing endlink?
For the rear do I just remove the lower shock bolt off of the rear axle housing and the upper quad shock bolt. Or do you have to remove the swaybar also?

Also I have 03 cobra wheels 17x10.5 out back w/ 315/35 17x9 front w/275/40do I have to be concerned w/ tires rubbing fenders? my ford racing springs are only supposed to lower 1.125" up front and 0.75" out back.

Should I use the spring Isolators?
Ok I think thats all the ?'s I have
