5 tire rotation and PSI

[smurfslayer]

I had 5 new + 1 several year old spare mounted / balanced
( queue the tire snobs to shame me for using a 4 year old spare tire )

ok, now that we have that out of the way, the “vintage” tire was moved to left rear to keep an eye on. I then moved fronts to rack, rack to rear, rear to front for this rotation. next they’ll get x’d around too.

I should be able to get decent life out of them with a 4-5k rotation.

No question it is a bitch to get off the ground with the wrong jacks....but if you tear something up or it falls and hits the ground....or worst yet falls on you or somebody else....even the dog....you will have real regrets. ....if not done properly sitting there with all four tires off the ground BAD things can happen...I am really not the one to advise...someone one here should be able to chime in or search site....probably been discussed...the do's and don't...good luck

I use 3 jacks and tall jack stands but probably not ideal

Only the rear is up on jack stands for a 4 tire rotation. Fronts were jacked up individually. Sounds like it’s time for me to just pull the trigger on some type of Pro Eagle.

Anyone have it mounted in the rear bed for minimal impact to storage. Maybe on the side rear wheel well?

If you rotate all 5 you only have to have one wheel off the ground at a time. Also you can modify certain harbor freight jacks to accept the pro eagle extension.

I myself have a collection. Craftsman 3 ton, harbor freight 2 ton “racing” with pro eagle cup and extension, 2 ton OG pro eagle, 2 ton beast pro eagle without the big tires lol (solo Motorsports skid plate).

I didn't have a jack big enough the first time I tried to jack the truck up. I bought the 3 ton long reach low profile jack and four of the 6 ton stands from harbor freight and just completed the second 4 tire rotation. I tried to rotate the spare in but I couldn't get it cleaned up enough to look presentable. It had some decent wear marks from rubbing the bottom of the truck that I couldn't scrub out.

I did find an issue while I had all the wheels off. Front passenger side axle. 20k miles on the truck and the dealer has the parts on order.

What is your rotation?

Just rotate the 4. I go through tires pretty quick so I will use my 2 spares along with 2 new ones when I change next. Then I will take the best 2 of the used tires and will be my spares.

Glad I found this thread. I was going to rotate my tires myself until I realized my 5th tire will need a TPMS.

What jack point are you using? The frame where the arrow is doesn't lift the tire, just lifts the frame up and the tire stays on the ground. Do I need a taller jack to get the tire to come off the ground? I was looking at a Pro Eagle but didn't want to drop $600. I saw a video where they used the very front of the truck where both control arms meet as the jack point.

I have a Pro Eagle and its a great jack and $$$.... I needed it and the extension mounts to cycle my coilovers on my Jeep... This was before Harbor Freights new off-road jack (PE copy). I'd suggest that route for a whole lot less $ and comparable jack.
