        If all that is needed is to get the Van in the air to do work on It,, My weapon of choice is

always Ramps (Quick, Easy,Safe). Then if You need to get a Wheel or Wheels off the ground go

for a jack to do that & because the Van is already Up it is much easier to position the jack where

it will do the most good ~ I also use the HF Steel Floor Jack Cross Beam that DH suggests >

to get both Wheels off the Ramps if needed but I Add a 2x8 that is long enough to span to

under both steering knuckles so the Wheels will come up quick without needing to lift high

enough to surpass suspension droop ~
