Suggestions for tire changing lifted truck

Hey guys,

I recently had a Toytec BOSS 2.0 lift installed with 32" tires and 18x9 fuel rebels. With this setup, my factory jack no longer reaches the jacking points, and the factory lug wrench no longer fits my lugs. Therefore, I'm here to pose the following questions:

1. How do I find the actual size of my new lugs? Playing around in the toolbox it appears that a 17mm deep well socket fits, but I want to know what the company says fits.

2. What's everyones recommended lug wrench for aftermarket rims such as mine?

3. What's everyones recommended solution (not a high lift please) for jacking my truck up now? My typical solution on previous vehicles has just been carrying around a wooden block to make up the extra space but I'd prefer a more "OEM" fit.

Thanks for your help!

 

1) look it up on fuel’s website if you bought from them

2) star wrench (mini)

3) either pony up for a pro-eagle style floor Jack and pay the space, weightand cost penalty, or carry a couple slabs of 4” thick wood and a bottle Jack. I use the latter option since I can always level a spot with my shovel and Pulaski axe.

 

Put a 2X4 under the jack. You need something with a bigger footprint anyway, especially of you ever have to jack it up on soft ground.

 

I have a HI-Lift with wheel strap and medium scissor. I jack easily and set the scissor as a portable “jack stand”. I actually carry a traditional jack stand.

Many trolls say I’m an idiot and they couldn’t be “bothered” to switch. Frankly they are wrong and more frankly they can fuck themselves when their trucks crush them.

I store the hi-jack post on my rollbar and the trolley, scissor and stand in my tool box.
