At home you can do it with boards. It is a little bit trickier to get to the bolts, but it is doable and it works.

You will be able to drive up in steps and the wheels will be evenly loaded. In the shop and at home we have these boards cover in truck bedliner. You can keep them clean and they don't slip. You can use 8 or 10" boards to cut costs, but you get the idea.
Timing the bushes is the difference between doing a half axxed job and doing it right.

All of the shops that I've dealt with here don't want a customers input on anything.
And I suppose it must be a pain when a know it all customer tries to tell you how to do your stuff, but it sucks when they just 'tune you out' as a potential pain in theri ass, when there are times when we might know something.

You can tell the difference afterwards, it removes that "spring board" feel!!

I"m gonna do it on mine, but I'll just use my wood ramps here at home to tighten them before I go to the alignment shop. IF I find a shop that can do an alignment. They've all run from it in the past.
