Tom,
At the risk of getting flamed, please read my posting from Faye and Bert Curtis's site.

I know everyone says just put a jack under the cross-member and jack it up till you get room to stuff the new one in. My experience and my farmboy mechanic tells me that jacking up a single cross-member will just bend the cross-member. You need jack the frame off the suspension and to lift the whole body side, one side at a time using 3 or 4 jacks.

Just my experience , for what it's worth.
