Re: any problems changing rear wheels on lowered trucks

Jack the truck, put the jackstands forward of the rear axle, up as high as you can in order to get the rear to droop. Disconnect the shock on the side that you need to remove the wheel. If that's not enough, get a cargo strap and loop it around the frame rail and axle housing on the opposite side to compress the coil, which will lower the "remove" side. A real pain in the butt, that's for sure!
