I’m gonna be installing my wheel spacers soon and will be doing it alone.

My question is this is when i torque down the wheel spacers the brakes need to be applied. My thinking is if I put it in four-wheel-drive and turn on the lockers, then jacking up one wheel at a time I should be able to torque them adequately without having someone hold the brakes

Does this make sense or am I just being dumb?

I just use a stick to push on the brake pedal. Wedge it between the brake pedal and seat bracket

I believe if you put it in 4lo before jacking up and working on tire it should not spin on you.

I suggest not Twerking and working on your Jeep at the same time. Stay focused.
