It sounds like a royal PITA but you probably could do it that way. But, you would have to jack the body at four points. If you tried to just jack the back end, the spring would take quite a bend in it as the body moved up and forward.

Why not just rent a compressor? Two of us have them in the tools for rent. See the sticky on the first page.

If you use the compressor, the brake lines and sway bar can remain in place.
