I have a lightweight aluminum 3 ton floor jack that I use. I always drive up on 2x12's for the 2 axles without issue and jack up the third axle as it's now partiallyunsprung. I only lift from the welded shock bracket and have never had an issue.
I torque my aluminum wheels to 100 ft #'s.
A half inch drive, torque wrench sure makes this job more of an "adventure" for those of us that would rather do this ourselves.
I also keep a old small 3x5 rug with me so laying down on the pavement isn't so painful.
