The subframe was strapped to the lift as shown in the pictures below. Using this method the jack is providing significant lift to compress the springs. You only use the compressor enough to get the spring in the pocket and then let the Jack provide the rest of the energy needed to compress the spring enough to get the spindle on. The Jack is much more controlled and safer than the spring compressor. I can't imagine doing it the other way with a fully cocked and loaded spring in your hands. This method took about 30 minutes each side.
