You talking about just the lower control arms? You've about summed it up except they aren't that heavy so you wouldn't need a jack unless you are trying to do it as a unit with the spindle and UCA still attached. Then it could be a B!$ch.

I think he means the uppers,Yes put a stand under the lower arm to keep the T-bar in place.The only other thing is popping the ball joint free.

then you can't very well put the LCA on a jackstand. Go under the frame rail. you're gonna have to be near there to remove the T-bar clips anyway
