Thanks to all for the suggestions. I am now the proud owner of a 1.5 T floor jack which will be in the trunk along with a short length of 2 X 12 & 2 chock blocks. As the jack is aluminum & steel, it only weighs a little less than 40 Lbs. Got a bonus from jacking at the mid point of the front axle as I found a zert in the front spring that I had missed (should have known better as I had greased the rear spring). I greased the springs using the John Deere corn head grease someone had suggested in an earlier post for this application. It migrated perfectly through the leafs in both directions but not quite to the ends. Was duly impressed.
