Pardon my ignorance, but can someone maybe post a picture of that "axle mounting plate" between the axles that is used as a jacking point? Damned if I can find it...

Eastern South Dakota is very pretty with hills, rivers, and trees.

My advice is to buy quality tires with a road hazard warranty from a tire dealer. You cannot duplicate the service that you get from a good dealer. I bought mine from Discount Tire and I have been 100% satisfied.

Dunno what you have for jacks and/or tools. A floor jack is a big help.
I'm always messing around with heavy stuff so I have some wood cribbing around.
I went to Home Depot, got a cart, went to the lumber isle and picked out the ugliest, most warped and twisted 6X6 in the pile. Then I pushed it up to the front and asked for the manager. When he came I asked him how much he would discount the thing. He wrote a slip for $5.
Took it home and cut it in 4 pieces 2' long. Now you have good cribbing - one for each axle and can take all 4 tires at once to the tire shop.
