The job would be easiest when done on a lift. You will not be able to do the job without at least jacking up each side to relieve pressure/weight off the control arm to remove it.

if its trailing arms from a coil and link suspension...probably on the ground. have not had to do one though.

Any job is best on a lift if you have one.

When I did my CAs, I jacked up the frame behind the mounts and let the axle sag. I also did lift coils.
