I have a variety of 2x6's (used for stabilizer jack pads) and a (2) 2x12 with plywood between them (used for tongue jack pad) that I build a ramp out of, then use the truck to push or pull the good axle up on, thus raising the flat tire off the ground.

Also have a Viair compressor that is very impressive and a tire repair kit as extra insurance.
