I like the PB Blaster or WD40 idea... penetrating oil on bolts is always nice if you have the time to plan ahead.
If you can place the front or back on frame stands (depends on which you are working on at the time). Remove those wheels, obviously. If you have coil compressors... great.... Put a jack under one side and jack up the suspension till you see it start lifting the frame. Place the coil compressor on the spring and let the jack down... BAM your spring is loose. Easier than manually compressing those springs. Do that on each to remove.
If you unhook the Antiway bar you get a little more flex with the new spring install. Otherwise you should not need a coil compressor but it make life easier.
Good luck, take your time and if you are manually flexing to install the OME springs, watch those brake lines.
