Default Header install
When you guys do headers in your driveway do you just jack the front? (Big wheelie! lol) Or do you jack the back and the front evenly?

I can't find an answer using the search.

Put the back on ramps. Jack stands under the front. Go as high as you feel safe.

I did mine just jacking the front up but it would probally be easier if you jack the back up too

I just don't feel as though the rear can be stable unless it is on the ground chalked and locked, or jacked close to level with the front.

Either way this looks to be a scary install.
