You could always weld a small sled or ski on the end of your ratchet, put the ratchet on the lug nut, have it resting real close to the ground in the correct position, and drive forward with the truck a foot or two to break the lug nut loose. Once all of them are broke loose then Jack the wheel set up and complete taking the lug nuts off.
I've also used the truck similarly to remove stubborn u joint bolts. Put your wrench on the bolt put a cheater pipe on it to touch the ground Jack the wheels up off the ground and very gently let up on the clutch until the bolt breaks loose. But this also requires two people 1 to operate the clutch and one to watch to make sure you don't just spin your rigging up through a bunch of Airlines and electrical wires or snap everything.
Work smarter not harder.

My wife's daughter can break lugs loose with a 4-foot cheater and a 3/4" ratchet. We torque the lugs to 450 ft-lbs.
