Radius arm removal

[BIG TRUK]

I need to support the front of this thing while I remove the radius arms to blast and powder coat them.
Any suggestions?

Thanks
Chris

I was worried if I left it sitting on the axle that the axle might rotate once the radius arms are taken off.

Depends where you place them. I’ve supported other vehicles from the frame rails where tire shops lift our trucks.

Jack stands to the frame.

Support the frame rails right behind the radius arms. then support the front axle 4 Jack stands if you're doing it on the ground. They will need to be pretty tall. If you do it on a lift support the front axle with spin jacks (Under Hoist Jacks)
