They have to be compressed. The way I did it on flat ground was to jack up the truck, remove tire control arm and sway bar, and then lower down the axle with the frame on jack stands so that i wouldn't have to compress it as much.

You shouldnt have to compress it. I was able to install my 3" lift springs without a compressor

If you have access to a hydraulic lift and disconnect everything from the axle that Is entirely possible to just drop it out. Just be sure to remove the brake line also to get enough drop and not break anything.

We took the nut off the lower ball joint an the the control arm down by a jack to remove the front springs. Keep in mind that if that spring goes flyin its gonna hurt, and hurt bad. That a lot of tension on that spring.
