The jack that came with my truck will lift one tire on the trailer just fine. No need to carry another jack. Depending on the situation I might prefer to just use my leveling blocks. Again, nothing extra needed.
Fiat seems to have gone out of their way to make the jack for my Ram work only with the truck. The "head" of the jack has a peg on it, designed to fit into a hole certain parts of the truck frame. I guess it's their attempt to "idiot proof" jacking, so someone doesn't end up trying to lift in the wrong area. Downside is, that peg means the jack can't just be used on any old flat surface, like the trailer frame.
The jack for my Subaru is the same way, the head is very small, and has a slot cut in it specially shaped to fit certain pinch weld sections of the uni-body.
My 1500 ram outdoorsman Jack worked well (2016) well not really well but it did work once in the campground in the mud . My 3500 ram is different I believe it's too tall to start with ( didn't try used tape measure) yep had a subie too ,think it fit in a slot or notch
Think I'll get some adapters fabed up for bottle Jack to make things a bit more secure
Cheers
