That style ball joint seperator that was posted above from Summit works really good. I have the one from Harbor Freight
http://www.harborfreight.com/front-e...5pc-60306.html I have lost track of how many times I have had the lower ball joints apart with no problems or damage.
I have the extreme, 1143 spring rate, works good for dialing in the ride height. It is not designed to change spring rate, just ride height. They do have a rear sping with adjustable spring rate, but I do not have it, it would not go high enough for what I wanted.

If I understand right (and I'm not certain I do) the two "clamps" in this pic slide in/out and adjust the rate:
