Tire Rotation question
Well guys I am about to rotate my 35x12.50 trail graps myself for the first time. Do I put front left to rear right then front right to rear left? And also how tight do I tighten the lugs when I put em back on?? Can I just get them all tight as I can or do I have to torque them to a specific spec? An also do I have to tighten them in any specific method or order?

Oh and also where should I place the jack on truck when jacking it up?( I have jack stands also) but I'm plot let going to have to get a couple wood blocks to set the jack and jack stands on as due to my lift they are too small

I Like Tires
At work we always jack up on the frame on the front most LCA mount. Then in the rear we jack on the axle. Those would be the best places to set jack stands.
Also I would reccomend doing a Front Cross Roto to the rear and bring your rear tires Straight forward.
So:
LF->RR
RF->LR
RR->RF
LR->LF
And YES!! you need to torque your lug nuts to 150 ft/lbs for an F150. It's very important that you don't allow them to be undertorqued or overtorqued this will all leave you vulnerable to what we call in the business a "Wheel-Off"
