Put the rim and lugs back on slightly loose, then drive around the block slowly.
By the time you get home, it will be loosened up.
Or put the rims and lugs back on slightly loose,
jack up the rear end, start truck and put it in gear,
get the rear wheels turning then slam on the brakes.

Edit to add:
Make sure the truck is supported on jackstands, not just the jack.

I'll make sure I specify that next time I give out that advice.

Mine were stuck on the first time also. Once I finally got them off (with a sledge) I sprayed the wheel where it mates with the hub with white grease. The 2nd time I took them off the wheels came right off like normal.

I would suggest using antisieze on the hub surfaces after anyone takes these wheels off. I did a rotate on my truck with 5K miles and two wheels had to be removed via sledge. I have the alloy wheels on my truck
