... allow differential oil to be your lubricant. Make sure the lube level is full and then jack up each side of the rear axle and allow some lube to run down to the hub bearings, hope that helps.
To ensure they don't run dry I always grease rear wheel bearings as I would fronts, just pack the bearings and no extra. In time the differential oil will get there too. Have heard several occasions of folks putting them in dry and expecting the diff oil to get to them and it didn't happen quick enough..
Tilting the truck sounds good in principal but how do you know without a doubt if it's tilted enough and the oil ran out to the bearings without checking and or making a mess?
