Jacking up a sankey

Not entirely sure this is the right place for this but hey..

I need to replace the tyres on my Sankey narrowtrack. What's the best way to jack it up? Does anyone have any pics of the process?

I dropped the front down, extended the rear jacks to their maximum, then jacked up the front lifting both wheels off the floor , placed axle stand under the hitch in case jack dropped.Still very steady to work on.

I've used the rear legs to and then raised the jockey wheel to get them off.

It was on chassis only at the time. I wouldn't suggest doing it if there was a load in it.
