I did.
Had it on the floor jack up front and jack stands on the frame (I ****ing hate being under a car; I take zero chances). Like you, I expected it to take all the weight off the springs.
It did not. They were still under load. The drivers side was definitely easier than the passenger side so it's obvious they're under different amounts of it, but they're not spinning free in there by any means.
Must just be tight fits. Old cars are goofy.
There's a reason I swore off suspension work about 10 years ago. I've just NEVER had it go easy on me. And I'll be damned if I'm dropping my lower control arm like I did last time.
Mean strength and anger will get the job done more often than not...
