For the big jobs, I carry a Makita 110 vac impact wrench and the Honda generator. It'll pull the 8 lug nuts off one of the duallies in no time at all. No hand loosening or tightening required.

I've also got an adapter for the truck jack to spin it up and down with the Makita. Still looking for a couple of good scissors jacks with the 3/4" (or larger) hex heads on them. They work a lot better than the factory jack.
