Tested an Air Jack for Rivian Tire Rotation

Last night, I found that my Rivian R1S driver’s side front door is missing a bolt in the upper hinge. I don’t know if it was never there or got lost after they fixed my door pocket and Bluetooth module at the shop 3 weeks ago. The door’s quiet now, but I want to replace the bolt to be safe. So I'm looking at what bilt size would fit that hinge. I looked at the passenger side hinge, and it’s solid, so I’ve got something to compare. I’m eager to get a new bolt in before the door starts making noises or worse. It’s fine for now, but I wouldn’t want to risk it.

I recently tried a 3-ton, triple-bag air jack from Amazon for rotating my Rivian’s tires, and I wanted to share my experience for others on the forum. It cost less than $100 on a Prime deal and is small enough to store easily.

I already have a 3½-ton floor jack, but you don’t need to lift the truck’s full 7,000 pounds. With a 4x6 wood block, 90 PSI air pressure, and the Rivian in tire change mode, the jack worked great. The process was straightforward, and I’m happy with how smoothly the tire rotation went.

I’m really pleased with this air jack and thought it might help others looking to rotate tires at home. It’s compact, so it doesn’t clutter my garage, and it lifted the truck easily with the wood block and proper air pressure.

The tire change mode kept everything steady, making the job quick and simple. If you want an affordable, reliable way to handle tire maintenance without heavy equipment, this setup is worth trying.
