With the shocks removed, the springs act on the body and the subframe.

You are attempting to separate the subframe from the body.

You must first suppport the body and then you must carefully support the subframe when you unbolt it from the body, otherwise the springs are going to attempt to send it to China. If you happen to be between China and the subframe, we might not speak again.

Please don't argue that the safest way to do the job is without a spring compressor. We might think you have lost your mind.
