My fun for the day and tomorrow morning I put a new block heater in the morning so my truck will actually start then I will throw these on and clean up the garage more since we are having Thanksgiving festivities at our house again this year. Actually have gotten pretty decent at the mounting now, got it down to about 5 minutes a tire with putting some air in to hold it.

Yep, stepping down to 22.5 had like 5 or 6 old 22.5 wheels, but they were so chewed up around the bead area I couldn't get tires to mount, then cleaned a coupe up so tires would mount but they had leaks so bad I just ended up buying all new ones. These are baby tires though, stepped down all the way to 255's. Figured with the 2.74 rear gears these work out better, and drop my 5th wheel height down to around 48". Will actually be able to use my over drives now going down the highway, will probably end up hating the 255's but can always go back to tall 22.5 and be right at the same height as my lp's 24.5

Lol yeah, I was sucking air after the first couple, some swearing and throwing things going on to, ended up getting the hang of it after the first three or so and getting a system down. It's the first time I've done more than a couple at a time, glad I did it though, just to prove to myself I'm not to old and outta shape to do it.singlescrewshaker, NightWind, The_vett and 11 others Thank this.

Once did 34ish drives in a 8 hour shift. Last year I changed my 8 drives, it took me a day and a half. Difference is 25 years older.

Dismount is way worse than mounting, I have a cheater bar for dismounting and I still end up just sucking air after doing it. I had to dismount two today that I had put on older rims yesterday after messing with those old rims and that crap yesterday.singlescrewshaker, The_vett, cke and 9 others Thank this.
