how high do you want it off the ground, I have four axles stands and can make a spare spot in the barn if you want to do it here.

The higher the better but high enough to put a gearbox in.

Get truck axle stands. Used those to help change a friends pig fat Commodore slushbox after he gave it too much.

The axle stands I have go up pretty high, it is more getting the hydraulic jack to lift it as high as the axle stands go that would be the issue
