Rotated my tires
I finally got around to rotating my tires today. I'm happy to report that with 80k miles, the wheel bearings and steering components are still tight even with the 35" tires it's run for the last 50-60k miles. Now, I need to check out why my CB is showing high SWRs and get around to washing/waxing it.

Me neither, I've been putting it off because I didn't have the $1100 for new bearings and ball joints (I have the lovely 4wheel abs with the most expensive bearing set). I'm really happy I don't have to put money in that this year, next will hopefully be better.

just be sure to put your stands as close to the outside as possible. I loosened up all the lugs nuts before I lifted it in the air.

I just rotated back to front. Jack up the rear, put stands under it, clean wheel up, jack up front, swap the front tire for the rear and snug the nuts down. Then put the rear on. For the couple of minutes the front is only supported by the jack, it's relatively safe enough to skip the jack stand.

I wish I had a good floor jack, but it's hard to find them locally that can handle the weight of these trucks. The factory Bottle jack does a better job than the 2.5 ton chinese floor jacks.
