Ever seen a 3/4" drive torque wrench? That thing is 4 feet long and goes up to like 500 lb-ft.

Your normal 2-1/4 ton floor jack should be fine. A 3-4 ton would be better, but I don't think it's necessary.

Cement blocks. Will your frame really be more than 36" off the ground to do the install?

Directional tires is going to limit you in rotations. Rotation is key in a heavy truck.

Re: For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals

An alignment should be about $40. Mount and balance should be about $60. I'm not sure if 35" tires will balance out completely or not. I bet the new ones do.

But if they don't wear correctly, they won't honor the warranty.
