I have a Pulsar III and the way I do it to support the mid wing with a saw horse
that is heavily padded. It is easy to lift one at a time with two people. Seems
to work for me. Cheers, Larry

It depends on why you are wanting to lift it up. If you just want to change a
tire, a padded plywood plate under the wing spare or even a block of wood under
the end of a main gear leg works. If you want to work on the gear itself, the
original slings used in the build would be best.

I jack up my XP using an approx. 30 inch length of 2X4 as a pry bar under a
gear leg end.- Upon lifting the gear leg, I then slip another wood block
under the 2X4 end that is supporting the gear leg to hold the vertical pos
ition.- If I want to go higher, then I lift the 2X4 end I am holding enou
gh to slip a thin block of wood in place-(build up the height of the fulc
rum).- I can-then take it up higher as required....the-2X4-pry bar
stays in place as one of the shims-supporting the weight on the gear leg.

My wheel pants cover the end of the gear leg so I made a two piece wood blo
ck with the center cut out that conforms to the gear leg cross section just
above the bend that goes down to the axel mount. The blocks fit around the
gear-leg, one on top the other on the bottom. They are held together wit
h two-3/8 inch bolt and wing nut, one in front and one in back, makes it
easy to put on and tighten with no tools. I padded the inside of the cut ou
t-to protect the paint. The bottom piece is sanded flat, parallel to the
ground. I use an inexpensive bottle jack under the bottom piece to jack the
plane up. The blocks will work on either side since the shape is the same.

Thanks everyone. Found the 2x4 with a block worked well and I could do it myself.
But I do believe I am going to make a 2 piece Jacking block as described.
