What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

If you just use your bottle jack and lift it up just a minimum to where the the wheel is loose on the studs, you can just walk the wheel right off and roll it over and lean it up against the truck you won't need all that cherry picker business

The Jack stands you're trying to use are way too tall in my opinion, the bottle jack should hold it just fine while you do what you need to do don't stick your hands underneath it

If you don't like that or have safety concerns I'm sure you got a stump or some blocks of wood or something around there you can shove under it

Alas theory and practice don't always lineup, will have to jack her up about 7 inches to use this method. How much of a hassle is it to singlehandedly manhandle one of these into place? It didn't seem that heavy getting off the pallet and rolling around.

It's easy just put it on the ground roll over to the truck keep it balanced and lean it against the Hub studs, slowly Jack up till you get a thread and put it in place. get it on there you're done. You can also use a long bar underneath to pry it up to get those studs in place.

There are dollies to handle heavy tires see picture.
Just be careful it's all about mechanical advantage.

I used same setup but my heavy jack stands do not have that large of a base.

Wasn't a total waste of time, needed to paint the wheels anywhose...

Yah, I had a taller wheels in mind when I bought them.
Eventually I'll go that route, but for now I just need to get her on the road
