I'm with Tim and Paul on this one. Yes a spring compressor is nice but if you've ever had a bent spring compressor stuck on your spring you know my frustration.
I've never been hit with a spring in a thirdgen. I didn't use chain either, just thick rope. Rope is plenty to stop a spring of that size from flying. If you want me to do the calculations..... pay me,

.
Tim, did you help me with my springs? I can't remember.
