You don't need one. Once you get it up on axle stands with the suspension at full droop a pry bar will do the job.

you dont need to compress the "springs" - just raise the body with a farm jack (jackall/hilift/deathtrap)

And you can gain a little height by sticking a scissor jack between the axle and body then the spring just pops out.

I'll be adding assister springs inside my standard rear springs in a week or so's time. I got a feeling I might be needing a jack between the axle and the body to give me the extra space needed.
