Lift process for removing all 4 tires
I want to buy 4 new tires for 5er. Want to remove all four tires/wheels, take them and the new tires to a mounting shop. I have hydraulic front landing gear and electric stabilizer jack system in rear...

I used 2 HD ramps. Pulled trailer forward with front tires on the ramps, removed rear tires and went to town. Replaced moved ramps to back tires and repeated. The short amount of time the 2 tires were overloaded didn't hurt them. They are not moving and the truck was supporting a lot of the weight.
If jacking the axles, DO NOT put the jack under the round axle tube, it can crush the tube. If the axle is over the spring no problem.
I don't think any axle tube is that thin!!!
My axle is under the spring, and i lift on the tube directly under the spring!
Myself far easier to haul the 5er to the tire dealer!
If I want to remove all tires at once I would build cribbing out of 4X4's or 2X4's, place under the frame just in front of the spring hangers, and just behind.
