What type of jack are you carrying in your truck. I had the OEM jack until I had a flat and had to use it. I now have a 6 ton bottle jack.

 

I never felt comfortable using the OEM jack either. I picked up a 1 ton on wheels from Sears with a nice plastic carrying case. I keep it in the bed of my truck. Works much better now that I have a 6" lift on my truck as well.

 

highlift until i can get a tool box so i can keep a hydraulic jack in there. it comes in handy on the road and works as a come a long

 

I use a Jackall 8000. it is similar to a Hi-lift but is rated at 8000 lbs. To lift the front I lift from one of the tow hooks and at the rear I use the Trailer hitch. The factory jack has been MIA for a few years now. it is mounted to the back seat. See Pics;

Hi-Lift

 

i have a highlift jack mounted to my tool box and i have a HMMWV (military H1 Hummer) scissor jack also that i use if the ground is muddy or soft sand(it has a very large base) see pics

 

The scissor jack's base is awesome, I might have to join up so I can get my hands on one
