    That's what I use.

    And NO! You do not jack the car up because you need the weight of the car to help compress the springs as they are heated. And yes, you'll need to turn the wheels so that you have easier access and more space to work with in the wheel well. Once the car starts getting lower, you'll run out of room so turning the wheel will allow for a bit more room. Later, QD.
