I'm right handed so I lift mine with my right arm. Makes changing the shocks a b!tch cause my left hand gets retarded since my right hand is preoccupied.[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Lift from the left. Stand the bike up straight and slide the jack under with my foot. Jack it up a couple of inches and check contact on both sides.
