Hey All! Knowing that I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer I thought that I would float this up to the collective knowledge of the forum for some insightful input and thoughts. I would like...

All I use are "run up blocks" which are nothing more complicated than three pieces of 2"x10" plank screwed together to make a ramp. Pull one wheel on one side (or both if you have two blocks) and the other wheel comes up off the ground and away you go with your service. Works great with rubber torsion springs but leaf springs droop more so may need a little extra height.
Chaining up axles works, but it's a heck of a lot more complicated and dangerous. It would be a last resort for me, and I for the life of me can't figure out why you would do it. Just putting a bottle jack under the axle, or the frame, and picking up the tire is what I do if I am going to use a jack. The axle doesn't droop that much.
