    usually somebody has a piece of equipment if you need to pick it up for whatever reason. (front end loader, backhoe, excavator, etc) i have seen people use bottle jacks before though.

    why does it need to be bolted instead of welded? the factory welded lots of things to the frame. my truck is 10 years old. warranty is long gone. yeah, if i were to build it again, i would do something like this. although, i have yet to need to remove the ball. i doubt i ever will.
