This way you get everything you need to install higher tires for the best price and to help make it as easy on yourself as possible.

Before jacking up your truck you need to remove the nuts of the body support blocks, remove the coolant radiator tank and detach all the fuel lines. This is for safety purposes because you do not want to put yourself in a dangerous situation when working on your truck. Next you need to disconnect the brake lines.

You can now take off the tires and install the new, larger tires that are going to jack up the truck and keep it up at a higher height from the ground. If you have a coil spring truck you should place the jack on the coil spring pockets in the front and a set on the trailing arm in the back.
