You bring up a good point. When I installed my Autospring, I used a borrowed Wally World special 2.5ton jack and jack stands. I had to air down the tires and kind of squish them to get them back onto the truck, and it was lifted as high as the silly little jack would go.

What sort of jack would be a good one for a 4x4...

 

Great thread as I'm starting to entertain the thought of a jack to put the 22s back on this spring.

I have a good idea on the jack (either OTC or Craftsman 3 ton) but what about to remove and retighten the lugs to the appropriate torque?

I was looking at a power impact, but that along with the cost of the bit would be north of $300.

What about a Craftsman 1/2 in. Electronic Torque Wrench with BONUS Case? And then what else would I need?

Get one like mine. Works great on 4x4s.

 

Went and bought the Michelin 3.5 Ton Floor Jack at Sam's Club. Works great so far....no issues on getting the truck off the ground. Jack is heavy and sturdy. Only cost me $67.00!!!! Can't beat that. Think it lifts 21" off ground.

 

I have the same one and I use it on my '06 Scab, '73 International, and all the other family vehicles for routine maintenance.
