What i meant by a nub, is something to sit in the hole below the spring cup on hte front end. If you don't have welding tools, try to make something out of wood, and see if a local fabricator can make it out of steel. Same goes for the axle saddle.

First thing is try to find a jack that you are comfortable with. Of course easier said then done, cause one never knows where a tire is going to fail. Personally, i do not carry a jack unless i go on a long trip. I know enough people around my area that if a tire fails, i am going to call for help.

If you call roadside assistance they are going to show with a hydraulic floor jack. Best bet, and cheapest option is the hydraulic floor jack. Unfortunately the cheap ones, by the time you use it they never work, or the lugnuts are so damn tight you can't loosen them anyways. Best option for occasional use, anything mechanical, like a scissors jack.
