Get a chunk of 2X4 to spread the weight, place it under the floor near the inner rocker, make sure all 4 cab bolts are loose, jack up one side of the cab just enough to do both mounts on that side, then do the same thing on the other side.... then tighten all bolts in steps, alternating diagonally till they're good..... Might as well do the core support cushions while you're at it...
