You can use a ratchet strap (strong one not some Chicken S one,) Hook it to the springs on one end and run it to the down pedal up frint or the up pedal if you have one. onece you get it stretched, lock down the stop collar and then stand back when you free it up!! :|err

Or you can use a porta power and push the springs forward or a come along. Or you can call Gofastracer and he can just grab em with his bare hands and stretch em!
