What do you carry for tire changes?

[ace4aday]

I've been very lucky not to have ever blown a tire while out in the boonies. Now that I'm lifted and running bigger tires, I am going places much farther off the beaten path and I am more worried than ever about the prospect of doing a tire change in the field. The stock jack is too small by itself, but I don't have any jacking points for a hi-lift to speak off so carrying one of those is useless. I'm curious how others have handled this. What do you carry?

If you don't have onboard air, I suggest an electric air pump...I actually like them better then using hoses etc. from onboard air setups...you need a jack or a really strong friend...tools, patches, air tanks, etc...even a HF impact gun is an incredibly handy tool to have in your bag!

I have a tool roll full of hand tools, including a breaker bar and 21mm socket for the lugs. For the jack, I use an Omega 3 ton bottle jack with Safe Jack extensions. I havs a 3" extension, 6" extension, flat plate attachment for lifting by the frame and a u shaped attachment to cradle/lift the rear axle for rear tire changes.

I currently carry a Smittybilt compressor, deflator, and a tire repair kit, along with the stock jack and wrench. I'm mostly worried about having an unrepairable tire and no way to lift the vehicle to put on the spare.

A bottle jack with extensions? Perfect. That's what I was hoping someone could point me to. Thanks.

Definitely check out the Safe Jack stuff. As a bonus, everything fits in the spot where the factory jack goes. I stuff the extensions in the sack for the stock jack handle stuff and it all fits in there.

dang, i need to step my game up. i have a little bottle jack that gets the job done and i carry around a chunk of 6x10 and some microllam 2x10, also good for leveling the truck for sleepy time.

Preparedness is key to handling unexpected tire changes confidently while exploring remote terrains. Alongside a reliable jack suitable for your vehicle's lifted stance, consider carrying a high-quality hydraulic bottle jack or a sturdy off-road jack with a base plate for stability. Additionally, ensure you have a lug wrench suitable for your vehicle's wheel nuts, a tire iron or breaker bar, tire repair kit, and a portable air compressor for reinflating tires. Don't forget to pack wheel chocks and gloves for safety.
