i have doen this both ways and would never try it again without the compressor. 30 min each side with it and no worrys about getting hurt
i felt safe the entire timenot enough tension to really be dangerous. your putting a little tesnsion with the jack, nothing to be afraid of. and about the alightment, when you lower you car an alignment is needed either way if u want to do it by the book. i undertand what your saying i dont disagree with it would be easier with a compressor but this way is very doable and easy. and get the job done in just under an hour eacxh side.
