I wanted to share another method that is not as hair raising, though it's a touch more expensive as it requires buying a cross-beam adapter. Below are some pics of me using it for reference.

That looks pretty neat! Did you use it in some way to get the fronts onto the stands? Or, did you swap the cross-beam on after they were raised?
