Hey guys what are yall doing to support the frame when swapping the bushings out on the front end? Having some major height issue and am curious to how some of yall have done this.

I have a couple of blocks of wood cut from a pine tree. They're about 26" across and abut 20 inches high. I set the jack stands on top of them to support the frame near the front bumper. If you do this you should open your drivers door first (incase you need to get in for somthing) and don't try to shut it while your frame is flexed.

I have a big set of jack stands that are tall enough.

x2, If you have smaller stands some wood blocks would help.

12 ton Harbor Freight jack stands.

However, I always thought that I might be killed by the Chinese, but I never thought it would be this way...
