Never mount a new tire next to a old tire in a duel configuration such as you have. There is a physical difference in size even though the tire sizes are the same. This will cause the new tire to carry most of the load which will cause the new tire to overheat causing pre-mature tire failure....
1. Jack from the axle, not the frame. Jacking from the frame requires significantly higher jacking to unload the spring, adding to the danger and the size of the jack. And never use a floor jack on the differential. 2. You didn't chock the other wheels or set the parking brake. 3. The lug nuts are to be torqued to 140. What instructions said 70 or 80? 4. There's other important steps that need to be taken. I guess I'll make my own video.
I love you Jim
It really is easier than you think!
Great video!
Thank you
Great video - might want to look at spare load rating-
That might be a 4 ply. 😳
Great point! I think I'll swsp one of the LT Defenders on as the spare and put two new Alegis in the front.

70 to 80 ft lbs is not enough torque for those big lug nuts. I think those should be like 140 ft lbs. you might want to double check that.
Not a 1/4” ratchet!
