floor jack?

how do you guys lift your junk up when you have a flat tire? I have the tundra lift and i dont think that the bottle jack would suffice. what do you guys do to make sure you're able to lift one side of the truck up? keep peices of wood in the back? thanks

For home use I use a garage floor jack (21" lift). On the road I use a bottle jack under the end of the axle (near tire to be changed). Always try it at home to make sure it will work with your mods.

IIRC, my bottle jack came from my dad. It was for his old motor home.

If you're on absolutely level ground, your stock jack *should* work. Mine does, at least. I think it's a good idea to invest in a taller bottle jack.
