I tried the set up in 54suds link. I made the mistake of thinking a landscape timber would hold the weight, needless to say it didn't. it split right at ground level and took out the back glass on the way down. Make sure to use quality and heavy enough lumber. My current set up is a 2x4 frame with 4 manual truck camper jacks from a previous project. the jacks are mounted on a set of doubled 2x4s on either side of the truck with 2 doubled 2x4s installed side to side. use the jacks to pick up the shell and lower it after the truck is moved to a stable level.
