Question, got my tire replaced today.
It was worn 2/32” so now i have a new tire and a 2/32” worn tire.

Will the difference cause any issue? I hate the idea of it but having one tire over inflated slightly would cause the same issue.

Also. It was worn down 2/32”. So the guy wrote down it was only worn 1/32” so technically its still brand new so it was a free swap, minus $24 for mount and balance.
All worked out in the end. Lucky

 

I wouldn’t worry about it.

 

Sending out warning to you guys. I bought a TORIN brand lift jack last week off Amazon.ca. It was a good deal. When I got it yesterday it didnt work. The lever woudn't engage to start the up action. I called the company and was told it's an issue they are having with some of their jacks so I returned it.
In case you guys are about to pick one up they are a good deal on Amazon so beware.

Hi-lift. The tried and true and can be had in princess auto for decent prices every know and again.

 

I picked up a 48" mastercraft from cnd tire on sale for $60 earlier in the winter. I like their return policy at cnd tire never had a problem.

 

I was just looking at that. I also foung the Hi-Lift at TSC Stores on sale for $59. Going there tomorrow.

 

My bad guys, it's Torin at TSC.

 

Princess auto has them. I have the 60”. Pricey but worth it. Nothing worst than running out of jack...

 

The 48" mounts under the rear window perfectly

 

I agree.

 

I had my 60 on top of the wheel well

 

I feel the 48 is a good size for me. I'm almost contemplating a 36 for the size.

 

have you tried lifting your truck with that size? I found for me I needed the 60". Especially, on the front and rear end.

 

I lifted and changed the front tire with my 48", using my rock slider as a jack lift point.

The rear, I have not figured out wtf im doing yet.

 

I got a jack stand jack from an automotive store after @KenLyns helped figure my shit out at the hunting camp when I had a flat. So much safer, and easier to use.

 

Well yes I used a jack stand as well when I did it, but I jacked the truck up using the hi-lift so I could ensure it was doable.

 

Always appreciate any input.

Pics?

 

No what I am talking about has a bottle jack built into the jack stand.

I will keep a hi lift as it can be used for other things but this is my primary method of lifting to work on the truck on the trail.

 

Oh I remember seeing this as I ran off screaming about playing in the snow

 

Yes. I recall that now too.
