Most class B's will be close to the GVWR of the vehicle.
my B weighs close to 8700 pounds.
the EASIEST has been posted above- get a hydraulic floor jack AND jack stands. ( if you use the supplied jack- read your manual first)
as you lift the vehicle ( lift/jack location dependent on the type and will vary from a body on frame or unibody) place the jackstand and extend it...lift more extend it.
I have had cars fall or shift on jacks...before doing anything I push on the vehicle to make sure it is solid. Consider that anything which requires great torque ( such as loosening lugnuts) should be done on the ground- then lift.
Today I have to service a fuel pump on a 72 Eldo.
I will be using 2 x 10 ton floor jacks and 4 x jackstands to get the front up, safe and solid.
Our Friend's son lost his best friend when the car he was working on fell on him. Mom and Dad bought him a Corvair for his 16th Birthday...
