I think the notion of a jack stand at each leaf spring mount is rational. That puts the load onto the frame in almost exactly the same place as the mounted suspension does.
So, working on slightly sloped (front to rear but not side to side) concrete driveway, raise one side enough to get stands under it, maybe adjust tongue to get that side's frame rail level. Jack other side, lower onto second pair stands, maybe adjust tongue if necessary. Stabilize all four corners as usual. Weight is right were it normally is and all corners are stead to help prevent any movement on the stands.
Hmmm. Might be the way. I hope not to ever have to do it, but that seems like a reasonable procedure.
