update.... truck upgrades

How'd you make out with breaking the beads? I've done it by letting out all the air and driving onto the tire with another vehicle and jumping on it or hitting it with a hammer. I'm actually going to be doing it again one day this week.

remember that high lift jack you have well use that to break the bead on a tire!!!!

how dude?

The high lift seems like more work than driving onto it. My dad always told me work smarter not harder.

 

[Doom's Day Custom]

how dude?

What you do is you put the lifting part in the reciever of your truck or under a bumper and just make sure it can't go any where!!!! Then take the base of the jack and put on top of the tire right next to the bead but not on the rim and start jacking and this will break the bead for you!!!
