Also, friendly public service reminder: please use jackstands, even when just changing a tire....As a ER doc, I cringe when I see a 3 ton car supported only by a hydraulic jack. I've seen some pretty hideous injuries and deaths from this exact scenario.

Good luck with your project. You will love it in the deleted form

Yes, I am considering them as they are on my to do list above

As for stands, I live by the jackstands, trans swaps, engine swaps, drivetrain conversions, all on jack stands and anytime I am under the car 100% supported by stands but in a wheel swap scenario like this I like to live dangerously.
