I will be getting new tires soon, and for reasons I can't go into here, it will involve riding up on blocks so I can take two wheels off, then taking two wheels into the shop, getting the new tires on, replacing the two wheels, then driving off the blocks and then driving up on the new tires and taking the other two into the shop.
During this time the rig will be connected to the truck, and won't be moving anywhere. I will be using another vehicle to go to the shop.
Anything I should worry about with the method I have planned.
ps putting on Brigestone Duravis R500 tires.
That's the way I did mine. Two at a time. No problems.
Note there are two groups here, those that have done it this way and had no problems and those that don't like it and never tried it. Guess who I would listen to.
Okay... I'll be the third group... drove up on a trailer aid and changed a flat, no problem... the next flat, I had to back the trailer up on the aid... the leaf spring bent about 2 inches from the rear hanger. I now jack under the axle between the u-bolts..
