Hello,

I've never done this and I don't have a hydraulic lift. Can this be done with a car jack? Is it even worth it?

I have it done, usually during oil changes. I think it promotes more even wear on the tires. You could do it with a jack and jack stands.
Need the whole side up at once. Some people will say it does not matter but tire manufacturers and car manufacturers recommend it.

If you use the spare in the rotation, then only one wheel up at a time.

Get a truck/suv jack and some stands. Not hard to do. Make sure to tighten lugs in a criss cross pattern and torque properly. Your manual should tell you the best rotation method for your truck

Agree on reading the manual, which tells you the rotation pattern, plus the torque (150 pounds). You can do it with a car jack if you put the spare on the first wheel, then go around and then take the spare off the last wheel.

Discount Tire rotates for free.

You'll need a minimum of a jack and 2 jack stands. I would highly recommend a floor jack over the factory scissor jack that comes with the truck..easier and safer.

3 or 4 jack stands would be better. I use 3, jack up both rears, remove the tires, jack up 1 front, swap it, then the other front, then install both rears and put it back on the ground. If you only had 2 jack stands, the 1st corner would end up in the air the whole time and you'd have to move the other jack stand and jack all around the truck, changing 1 tire at a time. Doable, but time consuming.

This is the method I would use if I changed my own oil....done free at Discount Tire.
However, my dealership rotates the tires at each oil change.

I use a tire depth gauge and if the tires are wearing equally, I do not rotate.

Back in the old days (old tire technology) the rotation pattern was critical, these days it don't matter how you rotate them. I always do them front to back while changing the oil.

I CAN do it myself, but the tire store I use does it for free every 5-8K. I do change my own oil though. I don't need anything special, there is enough clearance for me to slide under the truck. I can change my own for 1/2 the cost of paying someone and have it done in less time than driving into town. Plus I know it is done right.

Maybe with street tires, but with AT or mud tires it is still important. And it takes no longer to cross them so they all rotate in the opposite direction 1/2 the time. Unless you have directional tread.
