Front Suspension removal from bare frame?

....Either lack of planning or project creep got me.

I have my frame pretty much stripped, leaf springs and axle are still in, and front suspension is also still attached. A Arms, kingpins, sway bar and pitman arm.
In order to really make this car nice, I should send the frame out to get sandblasted and then paint it, which means I need to take out the front springs.
I had rebuilt the front suspension a few years ago, so am familiar with removing the springs...(Did it with a floor jack last time no problem) But now that there is essentially no weight on the suspension, how can I safely remove the front springs? Park a car on top of the end of the frame?
Coil Spring compressor?
Thanks for any advice.
