whatever works man I wish you had been around when I did mine. I let almost all the air outta the tires used a cherry picker on the front to get it up, a set of saw horses and a 2X4X12 let it down on that went to the back with the cherry picker hooked my four wheeler on the front and pulled the frame out. Deffinatly sucks when you have no help and limited resources.
