Hi I've bought some upgraded suspension bits and decided to remove axles one by one and clean and paint...what's best way to achieve this at home. I have 3 ton trolley jack and some 6 ton axle stands.
Would I jack up rear then put stands on chassis and remove jack? Or is there another way if doing this at home on the drive?
Cheers Rob

That's exactly how I did mine.
Jacked it up
Removed the tyres
Dropped the frame onto the jack stands
Supported the axle with the jack
Removed the shock from the top mount
Lowered the axle
Did other side
Etc, etc, etc........
