also.....

If you are jacking up the rear using the "pumpkin", just remember the wheels will drop down. As I understand it, the "droopy wheels" is not a position in which you want to fill the pumpkin with fresh fluids. If you look thru the Ben thread (see my signature), you will find pics of the wheels supported on stacks of 2x6 ---- when I was changing the fluid in the pumpkin.

Yes, you can use the front cross brace and the rear pumpkin. I also "cushion" those metal pieces with a 1" piece of plywood on top of the floor jack.
