I chamfered a 2X6 the width of the fuselage and placed it on jacks immediately aft of the gear. Using two jacks I was able to raise the airplane without any visible distortion of the fuselage. Chamfering the 2X6 allows it to set level on the jacks while still supporting the fuselage. Would recommend minimum fuel and be sure to firmly chock the nose gear fore and aft.
