Birdman posted a very nice write up on installing Deavers. I'm looking to do this soon but I think I want this receiver jack extender thingamabob. I've been searching the interwebs and can't find one. Anybody know where I can buy something similar? Or what do you call it?

That’s definitely hand made (looks like hastily). I wouldn’t ever use that unless the cross was welded or bolted to the cup on the jack.

You would definitely want to make sure the front wheels were firmly chocked.
For me I guess you could lift up one side at a time when getting the leaf springs out and new ones installed, instead of lifting the entire rear end.

Pro Eagle jack comes with an extender. Not sure who would make one for a normal floor jack.

You would have to go to a thingamajig store in a third world country to get one of those. I would never use anything so precarious as that!

So I guess ya'll don't like the idea of getting hitch with 9" drop and using that?
Alright, ya'll have convinced me to scratch the idea. I'll just jack at the frame one side at a time when I change that side's leaf spring.
I changed a leave spring on my old Lariat, I think I put it on jack stands and then put the floor jack under the axle to release the spring on removal.

Yes. Jack stands on the frame, jack under the axle. Swap one side at a time.

You could just grab one of these for $299
