"After you've pulled the spare and tools from the trunk, before changing a tire on the Rivian R1T, first set the suspension to its max height, then activate Tire-Change mode from the Vehicle menu within the main Settings menu (gear emblem). This mode instructs the cross-linked hydraulic suspension from attempting any of its vehicle-leveling machinations during the jacking and tire-change procedures." -Motor trend
Do you guys think given the air suspension and hydraulic assistance(whatever that means) rivian could change 3 of the airbags to max height and then retract the one flat tire lifting it off the ground? Also WHY would tire change mode set the suspension to max height? You would have to need a taller jack and or crank it more.
Last, initially I was thinking maybe a pneumatic jack but even easier would be to add a Scissor Jack Adaptor to use with an impact gun / screwgun / or air ratchet (since we have the air compressor).
