What style of Ford front suspension? For the unibody shock tower type, I always used the regular 4 hooked threaded compressor. What I did, was remove the front shocks, drop the compressor inside the spring from above, using a leaf spring U bolt on top of the tower for the compressors upper hooks to grab, and then used the screws nut to compress the coil enough so that I could unbolt the upper control arms inner shaft bolts, and swing the arm out of the way, and then release the tension on the spring, to remove it.
