I prefer to have the stands under the frame so the car is solidly =
supported, rather than under a sprung component.  I then us a jack to =
raise the lower A-arm and compress the spring enough to get the shock =
arm off the bump stop..  A second jack can be placed under the A-arm =
when the shock is off, if need be (i.e. if you don=E2=80=99t want to tie =
your jack up).

If the front wheels are off & the car (BJ7) is supported in the front by =
