This is how I remove spring and rebuild front sup. I haven't found a better way yet. I put frame on a jack stand tie down to one of my floor pots then put floor jack under the lower control arm jack up, remove all bolts and just let it slowly drop away. Reverse to put back in.

That way does work well. Another way is to remove the shock and replace it with an appropriate length of 1/2 or 7/16 fine thread all thread. Use double nuts on both sides with heavy washers on top and a heavy piece of flat stock on the bottom with the appropriate hole drilled for the all thread. Remove the king pin nut and unthread the all thread nut until the spring load is gone and spring it extended. To install just reverse the operation.
No matter what method I use I always run a cable or chain through the spring as a safety in case something happens that isn't planned on.
