Getting at the suspension fittings and so on, under the tub, is difficult in my small garage; space is limited. Several people had suggested raising the tub up on beams to be able to work easily underneath; a neat idea, but the roof space of my garage is quite low, and hides some really horrid wiring. So I took the opportunity to rewire the garage, and then lift the tub. It took me about 4 weekends in total but here are the results:
I am not 100% happy with it yet and I think I may need an extra beam at the rear but it gives me much better access to sort out suspension, brakes, diff and so on, which is the next step......
