You won't have any issues doing one side at a time...been into mine a couple times and had no problems with any kind of alignment. Your far enough from the other side that its a non issue. I've done my tri-axle and tandem axle both with no problems. I would recommend having truck hooked to RV while doing it as it gives the RV a solid point of stability. I raised mine with a floor jack at the spring pack then blocked up the frame in front and behind axles, then released my jack to use to hold axles. If you have access to a bottle jack as well as a floor jack it makes the job a little easier. Keep in mind shackle bolts have to be driven out of the shackle because of having a spline on them same as a wheel stud on a car/truck. If your planning keeping the RV I would upgrade to wet bolts and bronze bushings along with the rubber isolated Dexter equalizer. Dexter has a kit that all is included.
