I'll, also, just do one side at and time and, while it's up, go ahead and lube my axles.

Rick, I generally use Discount Tire in the greater Grand Rapids, MI area with very good results over many years. Problem is... my preferred store has an impossibly steep drive (what were they thinking), that really precludes any trailer work. Other local stores have better lots, but they weren't interested in providing Good Marathons. Weird.
Ancecdotally, I have a Belle Tire (another Midwest chain) very near my home and I used them for a failed tire replacement. Their tech was about to jack under my torsion axle tube when I said "stop" (or something equivalent), and touched the handle of his floor jack. In retrospect, that was my mistake, but the guy went ballistic. We sorted it out, but I won't go back.
Good karma on your upcoming maintenance. Be safe!
