Check local garage sales, I picked up a 30 ton and a 20 ton bottle jack at a yard sale a few years ago, they are small enough to store in the trailer and have an adjustable piston height.
Both jacks didn't work well so I got them both for $5, took them home and added jack hydraulic fluid and bled them.
They work great! They hold pressure. Also carry with me a few 2x4 and 4x4 and 2x6 blocks just in case!
At another garage sale I found a star wrench for lug nuts, I got one metric and one SAE for $10, both are chrome and work great! Got a great deal on a bag of hammers also,, but thats another story!
