Which EAS position for radius arm removal?

I will soon be doing my front radius arm bushes. Was just wondering what the best position to have the suspension (or rather, the axle relative to the body) for easiest removal of the arms, before I jack, block and stand.

Access issues suggest setting the EAS on 'high' before 'freezing' it and jacking up (before anyone screams 'noooooo!' - I plan to have both the axle & body on solid jackstands before removing anything!) - but does having alot of space between the axle and body, and therefore the arms 'bent' downwards, make them awkward to remove or refit? Would it be better to have suspenders on the bumpstops before jacking up?

Any experiences to pass on appreciated...

when i did mine on my previous dse i just had it on normal height chassis supported just in case it dropped and wheel still on the ground axle wont move as shock and spring attached.
