All my classic cars have a minimum of stuff.

First is a Harbor Freight floor jack 2.5ton. 2'x 6"x8" board to put it on if needed. A mat to lay on if need be are to lay parts on which ever. Socket with pull handle to take the lugnuts off with. Spare tire and gloves. Jumper cables, screw drivers assortment channel locks, wire cutters, stripper, vacuum hose and roll of wire and assortment of butt connectors. Hand wipes and towels and a few rags to clean hands before driving off.

If I'm going on a long trip like Jesse said the HRPT I add things such as my big tool box if in the truck. Jack stands rain coat & pants. Battery box. Battery drill flash light

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
