I dropped the front down, extended the rear jacks to their maximum, then jacked up the front lifting both wheels off the floor , placed axle stand under the hitch in case jack dropped.Still very steady to work on.

I've used the rear legs to and then raised the jockey wheel to get them off.
It was on chassis only at the time. I wouldn't suggest doing it if there was a load in it.Ian
