64" spring swap, 52" swap, new electrical, bolts and plumbing. Just want the body off for easy access. oh yeah also an automatic conversion.

then just roll your chassis out from underneath that would work. i know how it is not having a lot of ppl to count on. i tend to speak my mind a bit to often, not alot of ppl like that.

hi lift jack, floor jack with a long 4x4 a bunch of 2x4s or 4x4s and start jacking, do it slowly and watch for grounds that are still connected. Not really hard to do even by yourself.

Just take your time and be careful, way easier to have a couple hands around
