Default Replacement Jack

Morning guys,

I bought my Wrangler used and it didn't come with the emergency jack or other pieces that would normally come with a stock jeep for roadside emergencies. I've used a scissor jack from Harbor freight(broke on first time using it) and now have a big floor jack just moving around and taking up space.

I thought about getting a stock used one off EBay, but they seem overpriced. Also, I have a 2.5 inch lift and 35's, so I'm unsure a stock jack would even work if/when I needed it.

Any recommendations? I have stock bumpers, so Unfortunately no hi lift jacks. I'd really like a jack that fits in the stock storage space under the cargo tray and preferably a hydraulic jack... I realize it's a lot to ask, but I figured if anyone knew where to go or had a slick solution, it be all of you.

Specs- 2012 2dr Jeep Wrangler. 2.5 inch pro comp lift, 35" Federal Couragia tires, 18" Pro Comp Wheels.

Thanks for any advice or help ya'll can provide!

You could check a local salvage yard for a jack.

If it doesn't get you up high enough to change a tire, you could always take a few 6" pieces of 2x6 and stack em to use as a base to get you up higher. They also word well in situations where your jack would otherwise sink into the jacking surface, soft sand.

Aev jack base and OEM jack worked well for me on my last jeep. I had a 3" lift on it with 35's.
