I bought a small 3 Ton Aluminum Floor Jack from Harbor Freight that's light and easy to stow.
Your luck might be better than mine. If I'm out on the road I'm very likely to be missing a very important part needed for your new jack to work; A floor. That kind of jack, the lift plate goes up in a arc. This is not a issue, if, and only if the jack can roll. If of anything but a smooth hard surface, the lift plate is likely to slide, and drop the load. Even on a "brush finished" concrete driveway, you need to watch close as it goes up.
Very true. I use a piece of 3/4 plywood with a floor jack at home on the gravel driveway.
