Blast from the past alert...

So, I used Alistair's method to remove the front Syncro springs (and
everything else), but when I attempted to reinstall, the van got real
squirrely since it's not leveraging against the ground on the other side.
I can see how this can work if you're doing one side at a time, but is it
still possible to use the jack and strap method with the van up on stands?
Strikes me as somewhat suboptimal if I tip the van up and off its stands
