I bought the same set from harbor freight... my only complaint was the non
bearing wheels... those cast iron wheels don't roll that easily with a truck
on them... even just the frame without the engine...   I shopped around and
found some live bearing (4" height... I have garage door clearance problems
with anything higher...) wheels at Grainger... installed them and set the
dollies under the truck... I gave the usual push I needed before to get it
moving...  I had to chase it down..  The truck was halfway in the driveway
before I could stop it...

For a guy in a small shop the dollies are a life saver... but a helper is
handy when you want to move something like a full size car or truck...   the
wheels were expensive...but worth it...

my 2 cents
