Except that if while the gear are swinging the aircraft comes off it’s wing points due to inadequate nose point support you will trash your wings, gear and belly, and someone might die…
My Skymaster pod had a door for the front jack point. I have also seen a Skymaster with a pod and no front pod door jacked by partially removing the wings and hoisting the aircraft using straps around the wing attachment points (the shop had an overhead hoist on rails). I have also seen it done using the usual wing points and for the front of the aircraft a strap from a hoist around the the front prop shaft...Whatever way you choose best of luck and stay far away from anywhere underneath the aircraft
