Aligning cab

Does anyone have a method of taking some weight off the cab in order to tweak the alignment? Nearing the end of my project and am getting to some details. Cab needs to shift a little and wondered if there was an easy way to do it? Figure a couple floor jacks taking some weight might be the answer but thought I'd ask... picture to show it off as nobody gets to see it all holed up in my shop...

Jack, block of wood and a blanket or towel, if you need it. Usually you can loosen it and just push without the jack, at least that's what we did in the body shop. Just put your shoulder into it or use a length of 2x4.

Thanks for that, after I read your response I just put my big boy pants on and muscled it around without the floor jack. I think I was getting caught up on it. Good as it needs to be for now. Thanks again!
