No need to lift a bunch on frame. You only need to lift axle an inch, with a bottle jack, or floor jack.
I have a 2x4 piece of oak, about 8"s long, with a da-do in center, that just cups a U-bolt. This works great at home, using a bottle jack under it.
I also use my Trailer-Aid plus, which will lift front or rear tire high enough.
Using some boards cut and stacked will work too, best if on solid surface.
Hooking to vehicle is a good choice, adding stability!

Do you have a pic of the wood piece you use with bottle jack?
Thanks
Here you go!
Nutin fancy, just a heavy block, full two inches thick, that can be placed under either U-bolt.
That is a good idea. I cut a piece of wood in a circle to fit on the pad of my floor jack. The wood against metal makes it less likely to slip.
When moving heavy trucks at work, we would place wood on the forks of a forklift before lifting the vehicle by the bumper or rear ICC bumper .
