I just bought a full set about a year ago. Wife went out one night, got a flat and didn't know it (it is a 10 ply tire) and ruined the sidewall. Needless to say, I just replaced it about 2 weeks ago. Special order. Cheapest I can get them is about $365 each plus shipping. Shops around here want between 600-700 a tire

I've used the stock jack once as well when my truck was stock. As said it took a good 45 mins to change out the tire with alot of the time getting the jack in place. I still have my spare but idk why since I now have 34s and a can of fix-a-flat as well. I do need on board air too

Sweet good to know. I really like the rv jacks. U can use a impact gun and socket and its like a speed lift to get ur truck in the air. Sweet deal is too I walked into the shop at the right time 50% off. I got a pair of rv jacks for $50. Not too bad. I was even able to mount it under the passenger seat. I am pretty happy with it.

Also just purchased 305-55-r20 dick cepek fun country. So far I am really likin these new tires. Had to run a 1/4" wheel spacer. The fun country is actually wider than my old BFG all terrains that were also 305-55-r20.
