SavSqch - 5 Tire Rotation

[THE_SAVSQCH]

Hey everyone,

SavSqch needed a 5 tire rotation and these behemoths were a chore to do lol!

Got it done but as those of you know in Northeast we are getting roasted !!

Got it done and wheels etc are all rotated for weekend trip to New York with Wife and little man.

By the way the Jack was a home run from harbor freight just over 300.

Sorry didn’t get more pics heat was getting to us lol!

I've done a single 5-tire rotation so far. After spending most of the day working, getting these beasts in place was a bit of a PITA.

I had used my knees/inner thighs, sitting on a stool, to help support and position each tire correctly. After the first, it became much more straightforward for the remainder.

Exactly what I did. First one sucked after that pretty straightforward.

My wheel and tire setup Is very heavy so that worried me.

I just think it’s a maintenance thing that most skip on for Bronco.

I could see myself easily forgetting to do a tire rotation.

What I paid for those tires was huge push to make me remember lol.

Those tires are some heavy buggers! The regular Sasquatch tire and wheel combination is a handful already.

Every time I rotate my 33’s, I think of all those poor souls who have 37’s or bigger. At 53, I’m all about saving my back. If I ever bump up to 35’s, I’m paying somebody else to do it!

Trust me it was a 2 man job lol. It’s not the weight it was aligning them.

There has to be contraption out there to help.

If I find l I’ll post here.

I think OP just wanted to show off the Kings but there are tools out there for positioning tire/wheel combos.

Example 2

This. I am a 40yr old female that has has had lumbar disc replacement and a spinal fusion. I run 35s on my lifted 2 door. Back in '21 i told myself I didn't need to pay anyone to do my 5 tire rotate. Well all was good at first, but I got stuck when everything was done but putting the spare tire back on the truck. I could not for the life of me lift that damn thing off the ground and back on the truck. I had to ask my husband to do it. Now I just add it to my oil change service at the dealership.

I bought that Badlands jack last year. The big wheels are awesome for rolling over grass or now for the Racedeck tiles in my garage. I use the middle detent position on the handle to fix the handle at the 45 degree position to make it easier to move around. Watch out for the handle spring, it likes to snap up to vertical and the knurled handle put a small ding in my boat when lifting the trailer tongue. I’ll wrap it with tape to prevent that issue again.

I’m due for a tire rotation this month. I’m thinking the lifting cart from HF should make it easier to get the spare off and on the tailgate. I bought the cart last month after using theirs to load a tool cart into my pickup, then having to call a buddy to help me unload at home. As I get into my late 40’s I realize I can’t just do dumb stuff to my body and not have consequences.

When I swapped my OEM 32” grabbers for Klever 35’s my tire /wheel weight went up by 22 pounds each. Each one now weighs 96 pounds and I have to use my floor jack to raise the spare !

Easiest way is to sit on ground put feet under front and rear of tire and use feet to lift while aligning with hands. I’ve been doing it this way my whole life, I’m 52 now and it’s still the easiest way I’ve found.

I you are wrong I’ve made other posts about the Kings.

This post is what it is about. Me doing a 5 tire rotation.

Good guess though.
