Don't jack it but 'support the weight' would be my advice.
 If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

I did mine recently,
not saying its the best way but i put an axle stand under the chassis & let the axle hang on the shocker, then with a trolly jack under the axle i was able to raise or lower the axle & even move it forward & backward to a certain extent to get the big bush in the back of the arm |

No need to do anything, just remove one radius arm at a time, (chock the wheels), fit the bushes, refit the arm.. remove the next.
Leave wheels on, don't jack anything up. |

Like GREENI said, one side at a time, no jacking required. You will need to pop one end of the track rod and allow it to drop to the ground and may need a bit of pulling and grunting to get things to line up when refitting. An assistant to roll the road wheel backwards or forwards as required makes it a lot easier.

I have been wheeling my Bowler project around the workshop for a couple of years when it's been in the way and only just noticed it has a radius arm missing!
