Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

I finally got fed up with trying to work lying on my back underneath my AD panel truck and determined to lift the body off the frame. I've never worked with a body this massive before, so was fairly intimidated. I'm just working in a home garage with no access to a lift or room for a gantry crane. Then I discovered "Slide-out Stabilizers" for supporting RV slide-outs. Theoretically they're good for 5000 lbs apiece, plus I also welded larger plates on the bases for better stability. I put one under each corner and effortlessly cranked them up. Mine are good for up to 48" but I only needed about 31" to roll my chassis out.
