Default '63 Fenderside in Colorado; front spring removal

Hi everyone. I'm ready to take the front end off the '63. Those coil springs look scary. I'm told to get a spring compressing tool before I try to remove them. Other places I look look like I can jack it up under the lower control arms, disconnect it, then lower the jack so that the front cross member rests on a jack stand, allowing the lower arm to drop all the way. Any recommendations? I'd prefer not do launch one of these springs across the garage. Thanks!
