I've been doing some research on a DIY tire rotation, as it's something I prefer to do myself. I've always done a Rearward Cross, LR to LF, LF to RR, RR to RF, and RF to LR.
Is this something that is feasible to do with two bottle jacks? Lift LR and LF, move LR to LF, lower LF, lift RR, install LF, lower RR, lift RF, install RR, lower RF, install RF on LR and lower LR, done.
I have always used floor jacks and jack stands in the past, but with the struggle to get to the pinch seam, I'd prefer to avoid jack stands.
My concern is the LR jack staying stable during all of the movement while rotating other tires. I've never used a bottle jack before, so my experience is limited.
Of course, I already have a full set of jackpucks.
