Hoo boy, I'll say they're heavy....somewhere I saw a figure of 210 pounds just for the tire, without a wheel.
Once the truck gets here, I'd already planned to add one of the "pick-up bed hoists" which have about a 1000-pound lifting capacity. That will handle the spare, and also loads up to full oil drums and other such things.
I'm going to try installing the hoist with the "base socket" (for lack of a better term) UNDER the bed with just a hole in the bed's surface to drop the hoist's column through. This will keep the bed surface uncluttered, and pebbles etc. will just drop through the hole and the fitting. Naturally, the "base socket" will need some sort of "stop" installed to prevent the hoist from slipping right down to bed level.
My local Ace Hardware has 3/4" breaker bars and 1.5" sockets in stock for tire changes, so those tools will be no problem. Finding a tool box long enough for the recommended "4-to-6-foot" cheater bar is an underway project. Will I need a torque wrench? I don't really think so, but some threads here on SS surely do show the wisdom of frequent lug-nut checks, torque wrench or not.
I'm already having fun with this bobbed deuce, and I don't even have the truck yet!
