Larry, The shock is the only "safety" which holds the rear suspension spring in place. When you remove the shock, you must support either the wheel or the spring link, so the suspension does not extend further and explosively release the spring.
You can safely remove the springs by detaching the shocks and then jacking up the car to relieve the pressure on the springs, and they will simply fall out of the car.
