If you have alloy wheels might be a good idea to make sure you can actually get the wheels off and they are not corroded to the hub, F150 owners..Also if you have a jump pack check to make sure its charged.
also, for those running f150 (20-teen models) stock alloy wheels, beware that the stock chrome tin lug covers will swell up enough leaving you with an undersized stock tire iron if one is needing to change out a flat. It was/still is a big enough issue that a class action lawsuit against ford was proposed (ultimately dismissed) back in 2017. FTR, this happened to me when a rock punctured the inside of alloy wheel while out scouting pronghorn in a remote region of utahs west desert. i'd recommend replacing lugs or purchase a 4-way containing a 22mm socket.
