I used my engine hoist and chain, front, I had the front clip off and hooked it to the fire wall area where the frame bolt holes are. Rear, I hooked it to the lip under the bumper (it was off). Each end was raised up and a 4x4 was slid under and set on a couple concrete blocks! Just one way I suppose....
