On the topic of jacking on the axle (I know this one has been discussed and debated ad nauseam as well), I've found getting it high enough to get a wheel off isn't hard but if you want to then throw a stand or blocks under the frame you'd have to get it REALLY high so that when you release the jack under the axle and uncompress the spring pack the wheel can be reinstalled at that height. I wasn't comfortable jacking the axle and compressing the springs that far, giving them a recurve bow shape.
Jacking at the frame either requires a really high lift jack or building up some sort of cribbing under the frame or jack itself. AND I find the frame really doesn't like that much point load, nor does the slide out (lots of bad sounding creaking and cracking).
Comments?
1. jack the axle
2. take the wheel off
3. place jack stands to support the frame
4. release jack and spring tension
*5. re-jack at axle to reinstall wheel?
