A little at a time
First I would soak all the body bolts you can get to with something like PB Blaster. On my K5 I loosen all of them by hand with a breaker bar no impact If you have any capured bolts you could really open a can of worms if you strip one of those. Next I did one side at a time. To get the body up I used a floor jack with a 4x4 and a 2x4 on top to spread the weight.

On mine, on the captured bolts, I ground off the heads and knocked them through the floor.
After I had all the bolts out I put in a few new bolts on one side of the Blazer then went to the other side and lifted it a few inches with a floor jack and a long 2 X 6 to spread the load under the front seat and replaced the body mounts. Then I went and did the other side - then I tightend everything down.
