A couple bottle jacks do work to install a regular spring or reverse on the front. Engine weight helps.
On the rear you can lift the car or in my case a truck off the jack stands as there is not a lot of weight to counteract a good spring. I used a reverse eye and 1" drop shackles on the rear of my truck.
Lots of tension there. Just be safe.
