What chassis stand size for supporting frame?

[bikemaniac]

Hi,

I need to support the front end of the frame/chassis in order to remove the radius arms. I know that once you try to raise the chassis, the springs will just keep on expanding a lot, thus needing quite large/tall chassis stands. Can anyone recommend what size of chassis stands I will need for that job? Do I need at least 500 mm?

I just made a measurement. From the ground up to the frame I have 520 mm. Then I need to lift the frame. I think I need at least 700 mm and they are huge :-(.

My jacks are about 500mm unextended and I guess they extend to about 850mm
I had a log I placed across the top of both jacks with helped with height.
