Do the rear first.
Be very careful not to strip and threads in the body's captive nuts, this is a real bugger to fix if it happens.
I find it helps to remove the standard length bolts and replace with the long bolts 1 at a time. Then when you've done that to one complete section, lower that section down and remove each long bolt, put the lift block in, and put the bolt back - 1 at a time.
If you undo all bolts and drop stuff down, it can be hard to get it to line up properly afterwards, leading to possibility of stripping threads.
