Sure did Oz. I'm sure we both have been changing tires before we had license? Last time I had Sam's Club rotate and balance tires they wanted to rise the whole truck by lifting just under the cab. That would leave the weight of the fuel tank, rear end and bed hanging on the frame behind the cab. I then had to stop them and persuade them to move the lift more toward the rear of the truck. I wouldn't call them experts but I guess they do it like that all day long!

I've raised the axle to many times with brakes and bearings with a good tires. If with a flat the wheel ends up on the ground and doesn't get supported by the remaining good tire looks like I'll need a shorter jack. One more trip to Harbor Freight.
