If you really want to get it done now... Autozone will let your borrow their tools:
Coil spring compressor:

Strut spring compressor:

Either of those would work. One on the outside and the other on the inside. Basically you pay for the tool retail price ( deposit ) and then return it for a full refund when you're finished using it.
BTW, these compressors scare the crap out of me! Especially the two piece type where you're tightening down two different bolts to compress the spring. That's only when you're installing new springs though. If you just want them out to do other work, the compression is already in the spring, the "compressor" is simply going to hold it there while you R&R the same spring.
I typically remove the springs using the weight of the truck/car as mentioned. But I have used these to replace old springs with new. That's when things get sketchy/scary for me.
