Along the same lines, check that your pickup or SUV’s spare tire under the vehicle is full, and that the lowering gear mechanism isn’t rusted so badly that it doesn’t work. Remove it during a planned maintenance session under ideal conditions, and address any corrosion . Also, my 2011 Ram 1500 has a small jack and lug wrench fastened under the passenger seat… that hold down stud was also flash rusted and the wing nut was a huge PITA to twist off by hand. Wire wheel and oil and it’s ready for the next time. Basic dude / dad stuff.
