Default Opinion, this too much slope to work safely on?

My last house had a flat driveway, so I never had to think about this before. I am planning to swap all four shocks and the rear blocks on my truck. So I won't be doing too much crawling underneath of it, if any, other than putting a jack under the rear axle for support when changing the blocks over, but even that I can likely do from the side one wheel at a time. I'm planning to also shove it really hard while it's on the Jack with wheels on to test it. What do you all think? Should I find a flatter spot in my neighborhood?

Default Chock block

goto Walmart and grab wheel chocks do it one tire at a time if at any point you feel uncomfortable don't do it but definitely put something behind the tires. Good luck

Thanks! Yeah definitely gonna have chocks. Also will probably lay the wheel under there just in case. Also I forgot to mention this was a sideways slope if that matters

Doesnt look bad at all. Just make sure you've got sturdy Jackstands under the frame and chock the wheels of course.

Yup! Sorry forgot to mention I will definitely be using Jack stands. I have 6 ton double locking ones
