How Do You Get It Up??
 
Your truck that is. What are you guys and some gals using to lift up your trucks? I use my 12ton bottle jack, its a PITA but my 2ton floor jack just wont do it. I would like to pick up a bigger floor jack sometime in the near future..

3 ton jack with 3 good wheels and 24 inches of lift

I let Wal-Mart do mine! Have a lifetime balance and rotation and I didn't buy the tires from them. :rocking:
If I had to do it myself, go and borrow a 20ton floor jack.

Form reading the thread title I tought you were asking about advice on wether to use Viagra or Cialis of which I have no experience, but when I am rotating my tires I use a floor jack and jack stands.

3.5ton service jack, or a selection of bottle jacks, or my engine crane if need to move something...the old wood floor is getting....experienced though..

I keep a 12 ton bottle jack in the truck for the truck and trailers both. Once you put bigger tires or the lifts on these trucks normal jacks are worthless. Wish I could find a good heave screw type jack though. These hydraulic jacks just aren't dependable enough to trust when your not around a shop. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.
