Using a jack is not bad at all.
I've done it and it worked out quite well.
The Porter How to restore etc. book has a very good illustrated chapter on
this subject.
The only point is, that you should be aware of the sudden power force
pressing to the jack when the top junction (at the shock absorber) gets
loose.
Take care of the heavy weight the cross member has!

Subject: Suspension Spring Compressor
Anyone have a recommendation for what type of compressoor works best
for removing the front coil springs on a B? I'm going to rebuild the
front suspension onto another crossmember and plan to remove the entire
assy from the car.
I know I could use a jack to remove the spring while the suspension is
in the car but it seems to me the rub could be in aligning things
correctly upon reassembly, if I do it that way.
TIA,
