Front Crossmember Change Out?

Rebuilding the front suspension currently. Two questions: 1). Is it easier to replace whole front suspension including crossmember with engine in truck or out. 2). Rebuild upper and lower control arm, replacing springs, etc. easier in truck or out as shown in picture. With suspension out of truck thinking, tool for compress spring will be an issue. What tool is used to compress front springs. I have a T&D spring compressor.
Thanks,
Les

I think it is easier to change springs and A arms in the truck so you can use the weight to compress the spring. Just MPO.
