It’s pretty simple. The hardest part is you have to disconnect any wires running up the lift arms. Disconnect middle lift arm pins, push the shell outward onto something to support it. The front or rear lift arms act as a pivot. A couple old tires work well as a cushion.

If you need to go the other way, leave the cables and pins connected to the middle lift arms, disconnect the outer lift arm pins, then lift the front or rear edge upward off the lift arms and support the shell. TrailManor Geek YouTube shows how to even use the tongue jack to do the lifting for lifting the outer ends.

If you just need to get the shell off the lift arm to replace a torsion bar or lift arm and you’re not looking for a ton of clearance, you can lift the shell off whichever pair of lift arms, then slide an 8ft 2x4 across the top edge of the lower box and rest the shell on the 2x4.

One person can do it, definitely easier with two, and rooftop A/C definitely will add some weight lifting the front shell. And obviously always have one pair of lift arms connected to each shell.

When I crack this project 2720 open again this summer I’ll try to get some pictures or maybe even video.
