i had a big piece of wood on a floor/trolley jack either side of my vitara, jacking the sills. i did this on both sides, and lifted the body evenly to prevent body studs from bending.

then, when i had enough room, i put 4 scissor jacks on the chassis rails to lift the body. 2 where the back tyres are, and the other two where the firewall is. i also kept the trolley jacks in place also.

watch for anything that might catch or pull out.

did you make your own body lift or was it froma supplier ?
looking good :-)

you can easily make your own.

IMHO, solid blocks are the only way to go, even though a lot of people use the budget box section type/method.

Mine is made out of heavy box section tubing, when I went to have them made they asked me what I wanted to do with it, I explained and they said that it was far too strong for this application. So I used it  ;D And it works fine, took a collision at a speed of about 50mph with the bumper mounted to the blocks and I didn't bent the mounts (just almost everything else around it).
The car was financially total loss, fixed it for $300 got around $1600 for it and bought a nice winchbumper and lift kit for it  ;D
