I carry a Harbor Freight 20ton low profile bottle jack, 3/4 socket, extension, and breaker bar. I also carry a piece of steel pipe to go over 3/4 breaker bar for added leverage, several pieces of 2x6 boards for spacers, and what not.
It's a bi#$% pumping the jack when you are crawled under the rig!! Depending on your age and health....it can give you a heart attack or at the very least a hernia!! That's why I carry the 20ton as the craking effort is less than a lower rated jack.
I carry these items for the same reasons you are contemplating...lack of cell service or availability of tow truck service.
I just used these tools as I needed to remove the wheels to install new mudflaps....everything worked great!
