The front is as easy as the rear....actually easier since the jack is under the control arm vs the rear where you actually have the jack on the spring.

On the rear I used a small trolly jack (wheels on bottom) so that as the angle of the spring changed I did not have trouble keeping the jack under the point where I touched the spring (I wanted to jack on the metal end cap rather than on the glass spring material)
The jack simply rolled a couple of inches towards the diff. as the spring came down, the top of the jack stayed on the metal end cap.
