    Thanks! I used Pinan's pictured jack point (Post#28) about 8" further back on the rail right where the additional weld points are for the frame support coming off of it at 90 degrees. This worked perfect with a hydraulic floor jack and a chunk of truck tire tread found along the road for a pad. (I will look into the hockey puck idea!) Both tires lifted from this single jack point. Very easy to do yourself. Tourqued lug nuts to 76 ft/lbs.

    Found a bad tire!! I'm really glad I did this myself and took the time to inspect each tire.
