I did the same, a chain and shackle with the floor jack under the end of the spring plate and the chain mounted to the upper shock absorber bolt. Worked great!
The method I resorted to involved approximately 900lbs of cement mix and car batteries in the rear seat area. I don't think I really *needed* that much weight, I just started loading it up and didn't stop until there wasn't anything else handy to put back there. =)
