You are on the right track by getting some kind of pipe in between (through) the lower A-arm and place it as far out as possible toward the upper ball joint for leverage.
Maybe you can have someone sitting on that corner of the hood/bumper for extra weight so that the spring will compress instead of the car getting lifted up.
As posted below, you only need about 3/4" of space between the car body and upper A-arm and maybe get a spacer in there of some sort and then you can fiddle with the lower ball joint more leisurly.
