I have two 2 1/2 Ton jacks and two sets of jack stands and also have the heavy duty rubber chocks for the wheels.

I have had my car up on the "Red Neck Rack" before but decided to hold off putting the front of the car on jack stands for the rear bushing change out. Started out by getting the front tires firmly chocked and then raised the entire rear by jacking up on the pumpkin. Put jack stands under the rear jack points and that car was not going anywhere once all that was done.

Depending just how far in you have to go, you may just need the other set of jack stands under the rear axle. I had the axle of my 86 held in the air by the other set of jack stands when the poly bushings were being pressed in.

This is one of those jobs that air tools make so much faster if you have access to them.

Good Luck,

Paul
