HA HA! That's the same thing we had to do a few years ago on the way back from the lake. We hit a pot hole and the spring broke right at the eye. The tire burnt all the paint off the fender before we could get in stopped.
AND it was 2:00am! It sucked but we did the same thing with some scrap 2x4's we had in the truck and some creatative use of ratchet straps and got it home. Yes I feel your pain.
