Well, does anyone carry a jack of some kind to get a back wheel off for a flat fix?
Don't think I can lift the back end......but I do have AAA, that could be an all day affair. :confused:

Carrying a jack is over thinking it.....Most riders just carry a small compressor and tire plugs.:Shrug:

Thanks, yes I have both. My Cherokee picked up a bolt in the center of the tread, it was plugged; but I can get under my Jeep, can't get under my trike as well unless I can lift it a bit. Never had such issues with my bikes.
Seems I recall a jack that was a plate that was arched so you could place it under an axle and moving forward would lift the wheel, simple, small, light, easy to carry:confused:
I'd also like to get the trike higher to work underneath, like installing an aux horn, oil change, etc. :xzqxz:

Don't forget the lug wrench .....gotta carry that with the jack...
If we are pulling our trailer I carry a low profile floor jack
I carry a really low profile scissors jack. It's only about 2" tall. Got it at a thrift store for $1.

Does it have a name or number on it? Sounds like a good option since it would have to go under the axle.
I have a low profile scissor jack I carry when we are traveling that I picked up at Harbor Freight.

No, it is unmarked. It does have a nice base and head. Gotta be picky about that stuff.
EDIT
It's got a Chrysler/Dodge logo and says " made in Canada."
