A couple foot long pieces of 2x4 are helpful as a base for your jack if you are on soft ground.

Pretty much as mentioned - drive on ramp, breaker bar and impact wrench with correct size sockets and torque stick. Been meaning to pick up spare hub kit but need to figure out which one I need. Have Bottle Jack asl well but that's for the truck mainly, as well as basic truck took kit with wrenches, sockets, allen sets, pliers, electrical tape, lights, etc. Also I forgot I keep a Dewalt 20v inflator in the truck as well. I agree with the 2" X 12" X 12" board. I have had to stack rocks under the wheel to get the trailer up high enough to get the jack under the axel before. I also carry a 12 Volt Air Pump and check my tires before I leave the ramp for the trip home. Most all of my flats/blowouts are on the trip home. Interesting comment about flats on the way home - other than a cursory glance I never really thought about checking tires before heading home from the ramp... Will have to pay more attention.

1/2" drive torque wrench with short extension, 3/4" deep socket, and either a bottle jack or small floor jack. I only carry this stuff on trips over 1/2 hour from the house. 4 way and a 5" tall block of wood stay in my truck. I had a nice little floor jack in a case that I always carried until one night I did not lock my truck. There were 2 guys hitting unlocked vehicles in Royce City around that time. I suspect they made a pass through my neighborhood.

To include a couple of C02 inflation cartridges?

I keep a small floor jack, 4 way, and a 3’ 2x4 board in the back of the truck. The 2x4 is for soft ground issues if the jack try’s to sink. My big thing is I buy new quality trailer tires every three years. I also keep my pressure checked.

4x6 cut for ramp with tandem trailer. Breaker bar, thin wall socket, 18volt 1/2” impact. Keep spare in bed of truck so I don’t have to unbolt it in the heat.
Get you one of the trailer tire pressure sensing systems for under $100.
About 5 total minutes to make a change.

I have one of these I carry for my single axel flat bed and my single axel Champion 188-DCX. Still wish I had a dual axel trailer for it.

 So like to see you all thoughts what you carry for the inevitable flat.!!! I have a 4 way wrench & 24" breaker bar. Hate to carry my light floor jack[harbor freight] it would likely get stolen . What you have? thanks for input. I bought an EZ Trac Trailer with fancy wheels and ran a piece of Rebar through the tire the first time I launched the boat. The holes on the fancy wheels were too small to fit a 4 way lug wrench inside. I was lucky a passing Redneck had a Socket and I happened to have a Break over. Otherwise I would be still sitting at the Ramp with my fancy trailer.
