Another option (that’s useful for so many things) is to carry a sturdy length of iron pipe in your trunk. If you select the right size, you can use it as a slip-over extension for your lug wrench and thus increase your leverage.

Yep, that too!

I’ve also had issues with my vehicle or that of others either being too low to get the bottle jack underneath, or too high for their jack to reach. Anyway, I don’t like the bottle jack that comes standard with most cars. So I loaded up with a small creeper style hydraulic jack and a few pieces of 2x. Nothing like fixing a lift problem that had coworkers fuming. :o)
