Undo all the bolts, put your parking brake on as the shifting may knock your truck out of gear. Jack up one area at a time and replace the mount in that area. While jacking keep an eye on your fender to door clearance, if you jack the cab up too much the edge of the fender may come in contact with the edge of the doors.

I would also watch the brake line's and fuel line's ..... And watch so that the bumper's do not come it to contact with the fender's....
