Another thing to consider is some adjustable jack stands... I use them for all my suspension work... I got mine from Camping World but you can probably get them anywhere...
The problem with "regular" jackstands it always seems to me I need that "in between" spot they don't have....

These allow you to adjust in small amounts...
Good Luck!
