Brakes are easy,lifting the 37s is the bad part for me lol. They're only like 100 pounds,but awkward as hell trying to pick up a tire that size and put it on the lugs.

I did my brakes for the first time this summer (truck was relatively new to me at that point). It seems relatively straight forward... just time consuming. But getting those 37s on has to be a PITA! Haha

Took her in to the dealer for a spa day. Oil, filter, tire rotation, TSB's (if any). Plus a mysterious rattle in the rear window area? Also...a demonstration from the tech (when I pick her up), on how to release the back seat! Theirs a lot of great space for an amp, etc... And Ford decided that we did not need to access that area? It's only been 3 hrs....starting to Jones over my F150.
Got to drive the wife's 09 Tahoe (slug).

Brakes are easy as ****. Unless they're drums. Then they're a massive pain.

Sounds like we're in the same area, same temps here. Actually broke a sweat at work and had to use my a/c for the 3rd day in a row.

Do what I do, get a pry bar and place it on the ground facing the hub, roll the tire up on it and use it as a lever to raise the wheel, makes it so much easier.

I love this trick, it is a real back saver.
