It may take more than a bottle jack. When I was looking for a suitable jack, I found many did not have the correct lift for the back axle and those that would be long enough for the rear axle would not fit in the front.
There was another issue. The bottle jacks all looked like the one above with a single circular lifting area. That does not seem to be a good way to lift on the round bottom of the axle. There should be a cradle for the axle in case there is some shifting as the jack goes up. That is especially true if the jack is not on a hard surface.
I have decided not to carry big jacks. Instead I use my AAA card. The one and only time I got a flat, AAA came from other a 100 miles away and was still there in a couple hours.
