Front suspension teardown - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK this is probably a dumb question. I've got my '67 short-step blown apart in the barn and the frame up on jackstands. I am to the point of tearing apart the front suspension for cleaning/painting. All sheet metal is off except the cab, the engine and rearend are out. I can't jack the lower A arms to compress the springs to loosen the balljoints, it just lifts the whole truck. What's the best/safest/easiest way to proceed?
