Changing Rear Suspension Q

Tonup76
I just got new rear shocks for my 73 CB750.  Can you change them without a jack?  I was thinking about trying one at a time?  Anyone ever done this?  Or would it be best to jack it up?  Also, any tips?  Never done this before, looks simple?

Thanks yinz guys.

If you'll put it up on the center stand the weight of the bike will be removed from the swing-arm to make it easier.

no jack required. You can either put it on the center stand as suggested by the first poster or just do one at a time. Difficulty will also depend on the length of shocks your putting on.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
