I didnt need a compressor for stock vert springs with the MFE method (in which you remove the FLCA-to-K member bolts and let the pivot now be the strut and knuckle). This makes suck a large radius pivot that you dont have NEAR the concerns you do when pivoting on those FLCA-to-K bolts.
Yep. You do have to be careful because you HAVE to use a large jack for this and be cognizant of the jack wanting to roll away once you start compressing the spring (some folks put the jack on a large piece of wood so the jack's wheels are off the ground).
Anyhow, I'd do a quick search for the articles on doing this (there are a couple).
Good luck.
