I bought one of these to use to help mounting/rotating tires. The tires and wheels on my truck are 110lbs, so fairly difficult to get situated on the studs and mounted because you're basically having to crouch down and maneuver them blind. Best 80 bux I ever spent, makes the job so much easier; I just break torque on the lugs, position the dolly and snug it up, then jack the truck until it's barely touching the ground, remove the lugs and jack the dolly until it's at the maximum height. Then I continue jacking the truck until the weight is barely off of the dolly and remove the tire. Putting them back on I line up the wheel and just push it onto the studs, definitely makes tire rotations and brake jobs much faster with so much less effort.
Bought these yesterday. In store only, not advertised sale - 4 dollys and the storage rack for 399. Didnt love idea of paying almost 600 so sale was a nice suprise. Was wondering if I should grease bearings so thanks for the vid.
@@Pondsisawesome124 So do you think they will work on a quad? Tires are 18" on 10" rim. I have a high side trailer need to figure out a way to load sideways .

At 10:10 would it not also be beneficial to put grease on the top bearings of the swivel round part that makes the wheel spin 360 degrees?
Wouldn't hurt!
They're on sale at Harbor Freight right now for $499.99 with the storage rack. I'm buying a set
Nice job...i think i would also put a needle grease fitting on the gun and greased the top swivels...thanks so much for the video

Nice Plymouth . I had a 11 and 111 Fury!! 70's model's!!
Very cool!
I live in the bronx and bought this for when ppl take up two parking spots, i just jack your car up and push it forward real quick and walaa.
:-)
Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful tip about the grease.
Good ideas. Thank you.
What are the dimensions of the dollies when they are stacked on the stand?
I'd have to estimate and say 2'X2"x2" - I have a car on them and the stand in storage at the moment. They aren't exactly compact:-)
@@Pondsisawesome124do you realize what a 2 foot by 2 inch by 2 inch box looks like
What did you use for lubricant?
Just some automotive wheel bearing grease I had.
What is the smallest tire size it will pick up?
The specs. don't say but it closes up fairly small, my wheels are 14" & I'd say it will do 12" wheels closed up.

Should be good, spec states "fits vehicle wheels up to 34 in. H x 11 in. W."
you didn't grease the other bearings
Hi what type of grease do I need to buy?
Any kids of multi purpose grease or wheel bearing grease will be fine for this application.
Can you leave a car
jacked up on em all day.
YES! Not just all day but indefinitely.
