well i got my front shocks on friday night. i trired the floor jack on the floor on the front x-member and couldnt get the tires off the floor, so i looked around and i found some 2x4s that were left over from the frame work when we built the garage. anyway, i used 4 of them and it was just enough with the jack all the way up to lift the front tires about an inch off the floor.so i put jack stands under the frame and left it on the jack to take the tires off and set it down on the stands to do the shocks.it only took about 4.5 hrs to do the front shocks(see susp. section)
