As far as i can tell, almost 120,000 miles. It came out a dark maroon, kind like cherry coke.

Does this really work? How many do you use?

Thank you, I just ordered 4 of them… My back hurts from putting the big heavy rims and tires on...

Just pay to have everything do for you, twice a year.

Is that the exact one you use? Will it work with 37/38 x 12.50?

Works with my 37's. Just make sure that you have the JT jacked up high enough.

Just looked at these at HF. $30 cheaper than summit at regular price but they put em up for $90-99 occasionally. After rotating today I’m seriously considering these and the studs. Wife’s 33” aren’t too bad but those 37” gave me a good workout. Thank the Lord I enjoy wrenching or my tires would be shot way sooner.

Be careful of what you wish for with HF. They don't open up as wide. Plus they use a ratchet mechanism instead of hydraulic pump. You can't fine tune the height you need.
