[QUOTE="mrpositraction, post: 69006, member: 2428"] Some of you are funny. Rotating tires isn't a big deal. What special equipment do you need? I have a $75 SUV jack from Home Depot that I bought 8 years ago and two jack stands I bought from Walmart. I do have an impact to take them off but that is not needed. You can pick up a torque wrench at Orielly's or any parts store (hell, I just bought mine from Ace Hardware) for like $45. I too don't trust the dealers. This is nothing against the techs that do a good job. I think I read somewhere in here about comparing to a clunk = bad Raptors. I don't look at it like that at all. Why am I going to risk my truck to have a "bad" tech scratch the wheel or worse. I will do it myself. If I **** something up then it is my ********. If someone else does it with my permission......well, I guess it is my ******** :) Rotating tires doesn't take more than 10 minutes. Level ground. Jack up one rear tire (chock the wheel not coming off the ground), put the jack stand underneath and then jack up the opposite front tire (there is plenty of meat on the A-arm to just lift the one tire off the ground if you pay attention on where you are jacking). Remove both tires and switch. Repeat. I can do this in literally 10 minutes, I will break a sweat, but that is why I keep the fridge close with cold Budweiser in it, my first aid kit :) [/QUOTE]
