Tom,
If you lift the front and rear at seperate times you can slide a 2 X 4 in
the wheel wells over the suspention towers in the front and over the coil
spring bridge in the rear. From there you can lift with four small boys or
a winch from the rafters. Two strong men can manage alone but its struggle
getting the front inner fenders over the front towers.
Good luck
Greg
