I know I'll catch **** for it, but if it came down to it, I'd use my 4-point leveling system to jack the whole rig up. Each jack is capable of lifting nearly the whole GVW of my KZ, so 2 should work well, let alone all 4. Just leveling my rig out in the street in front of my house leaves the curb-side tires off the ground about 2".

Glad you mentioned it ,was going to pm the OP to use level up . I have replaced the tires, doing that ,and taking them to the tire shop. Also did my bearings ,and new brake shoes that way recently . I can catch he!! with you . :)
I do the same thing, couple chinks of wood under each jack and lift away, lets me check the drag on the rest of the brakes while I am at it also.
