If you install one of the hoists I mentioned above you can lower it with the rod just like on the pickup..
If you haven't, the only way is to crawl under. As they come from the factory they are just hooked up with a chain...you crawl under and unhook and lower it down...not fun...and putting it back up is even less fun!
One of the previous posts showed using leveling blocks to hold the tire up when fastening or unfastening the chain...better than balancing it on your chest.
Adding the hoist is a monumental improvement. This is one of those things that I'd have gladly paid a little more to have the hoist factory installed buts it's about a 2 hour job to do it yourself. Drilling is required though.
