I think I'm cursed. I wasn't able to get the tires. I bought a big lug wrench from Sears that went up to 1-1/16" (27mm). It turned out to be just too small. I had a 29mm socket which went on a little loose. Couldn't get nuts off with 29mm & breaker bar & pipe. I went to local parts house for a bigger lug wrench. I told the guy I needed a 1-1/8" lug. He gave me a part #, but to get it that day I had to get it from their warehouse. Not bad, only 8 miles away. Darn wrench was $75. I get to the yard again and darn it wrong sizes!!I return the wrench & the same guy looks in book. Closest options are 1-1/16" or 30mm. The 1-16" is too small, 1-1/4" too big. I didn't want to do all that driving to find 30mm too big, so I said to heck with it & gave up. I'll just save my money until I can buy new tires. I just didn't want to pay more for rear tires than I did for the whole truck. Oh, well.
