    I never thought of that. That is a good idea.

    I have a BikeMaster to hold the front wheel. I also have a 10 ft step ladder so I should be in business. What do I do ratchet the tail end up until all of the weight is off of the back wheel? And then I should be able to loosen the shock bolts and remove the shock?

    Yup. I'd recommend a ramp for a car to roll the bike up onto, then ratchet it up. This also helps when getting it down; wedge ramp under wheel, hold brake while popping the ratchets.

    14mm socket with an extention and universal did the trick for me

    run the ratchet straps all the way under the bike in two spots and roll under the car jack. start liftin. maybe get a hand to help. once it's raised start tightening the straps to secure. remove lift, and bike should be suspended. start wrenchin:D
