Default Tire rotation w/EAS

Hi all! new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone had any info on doing an oil change and tire rotation with the Electronic air suspension? I have an 05 LR3 V8 HSE. I am tired of shelling out $250 for an oil change and rotation at the dealer. Something I do on my Harley and my 4runner in my driveway for little cost. No shop other than Land Rover will touch my rig because of the EAS to do an oil change or the tire rotation. Is there anyway to get this done without going to Land Rover? Do both services have to be done on an alignment rack to avoid stretching the bags? Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Mike

What good would putting it up on an alignment rack do. You would still somehow have to lift the thing up to get the tires off the ground to remove them. Try a tire shop, when I hade new tires put on Les Schwab had no problems putting it on a lift to put new tires on.
Oil Change: try a Jiffy Lube type of place that uses a pit instead of a lift.

i've rotated our tires in the drive. hardest part was listening to the wife saying "be careful" over and over. she wasn't worried about me she was worried about her car. a tire shop lifted it once to replace the rear tires and their lift crushed over $1000 worth of suspension crap
