That's my thought too. No need to carry a one-trick-pony gizmo around. I've always got a bunch of 2x8's along for leveling.
But to be fair, with my small fiver, my truck scissor jack is all I would need to change a flat on the road. For those with heavy fivers, you're going to need to carry something that works for you.
I originally had a lo-pro 6T jack from HF and the only time I've ever had a flat on my FW, it literally wouldn't lift the axle of my loaded trailer. I grabbed the screw jack from my D'max and it lifted the axle with almost zero effort. That's why I bought a 12T jack as soon as I got home. Lifts the axles with ease for greasing the bearings every year. :-)
