Default Putting in new springs, changing out the bushings and new shocks

I was planning on changing out as much as I can this weekend on my rear end. I bought the Ford Racing Springs, two shocks (if need be I will buy the quad shocks and install them at a later date), and the replace the worn out rubber bushings in the upper and lower rear control arms.

I have never done this sort of thing so I have some questions.

#1: What do I use to compress the springs and where do I get it?(can I rent them?)

#2: Will I need a total of 4 jack stands for the rear? Or can I get away with two jack stands and a floor jack? My understanding is that I have to jack the car up and lower the axle.

#3: Can I do this in one day?

**Mike or anybody in my area, I would be happy to bribe with beer, hot dogs, hamburgers and hard liquor if need be to assist me. I tried to also include dollar dancers but the wife put her foot down.

I know it is short notice so I understand if you can't stop by.
