t350 on axle stands

[m999psw]

Hi,
I want to get all 4 wheels off the ground to change the shocks. Is there a procedure using one jack and four stands? I thought i'd ask rather than guess and bend something!

Get yourself a low entry trolley jack (I bought one for about 100 quid), although you'll probably find the front valence section is still too low to the ground to get the jack underneath so that you apply the lift to the right section. In which case use a scissor jack either side to just get enough clearance and slide the trolley jack under. Or better still get a couple of short but thick planks of wood that you drive the front of the car on first and then slide the jack under. Also, get youself some wheel chocks as you'll need to lift the car quite high to get it on axle stands.
