Default Re: Spring spreader needed to pull rear end on a 41?

I do the same as Ken/Alabama except I remove the wheels so I can disconnect the shocks from the frame. But I first raise the front end up onto drive on ramps using the floor jack. Then I jack up the rear. With the jack stands set on the frame high enough to allow the spring to clear the cross member and the gas tank the truck is level and there’s plenty of room underneath for me to rest on the creeper while I contemplate the next series of steps. Small pillow on the creeper helps.
