DIY Rivian Tire Rotation with jack stands and one floor jack

[Mooeymoose]

I posted this video since I did not see anyone do a DIY tire rotation with only one floor jack and exposing the frame to allow for jack stands. I do not have two floor jacks let alone 3. I did buy one 1EV Rivian floor puck and used by two jack stands on the front. In order to do this all you have to do is remove a few screw and pull down the frame cover behind each front wheel.

Well here my video and lets see what people think of this method.

I do a five tire rotation with the spare. One floor jack and one puck are all you need. No jack stands. No panel removal. Easy breezy.

You can also do a 4-tire rotation with just one jack and one jack stand..

Lift one side using the jack and one jack stand.
Swap front and back tires, fully torque front tire, just snug back tire.
Lift other side, repeat above step.
Lower vehicle, now lift rear (both sides) and swap rear tires from left side to right. Torque rear tires.
Done!

True. You can do that on the R1T but the R1s does not have a full spare.

Agree. I mostly posted this about using a jack stand since everything posted that I have seen has used two floor jacks and pucks.

are you doing this using the process in the video? Or are you using the pucks? I'm not following how you get the entire side of the vehicle up w/ only 1 jack. You jack up the side on the puck, then where/how do you insert the jackstand if the jack is on the puck?

If you jack it high enough, it will lift the entire side of the vehicle, allowing you to remove both front and back wheels.

You can jack up the front using a puck, then place a jack stand under the suspension, lower it on to the jack stand, then jack up the rear using the puck and the jack.
