The short answer is NO. But there are several different ways to approach the job, mostly documented in here. Some have used compressors.
I found it relatively easy to undo the body mount in front of the wheel, loosen the rear center of the subframe, take the brake caliper off and let the axle/A-arm drop low enough to let off the pressure on the lower shock bolt and the spring. Then you can muscle out the spring/shock assembly. You can do one side at a time this way.

I never could find the video that appeared as a post
I have not done the job
Autozone and other auto parts stores have tool kits including 2 types of professional robust spring compressors to use for free if you go that route
I used the spring compressors kit on some other unworthy car other than the Jaguar
