Booger about those bottle jacks is that the tip of the lift cylinder is so small and round, doesn't have the cradle on it like the oem screw jack does, so it can slip so much easier.
Ain't that the truth. I've looked for a cradle adapter for mine but so far the only ones I found appear to be made out of 24k gold.
Yeah that yellow jack, looks exactly like the DRW jack.
Should fit behind the seat no problem then 🤞. Getting under the axle with a flat tire is a good point. I put the jack under the trailer hitch, lifted the truck several inches, then used a large rock as a jackstand to get the clearance I needed to actually put the jack under the axle.
To make a jack work as best as it can and be somewhat safe all the tires that are not being changed should be chocked to prevent the truck from moving when it's being jacked up. If on an inclide, put it in 4wd and park and set the parking brake to help limit movement. A board under the jack also helps. If you notice any shifting, lower the jack and reset, and jack again. Repeat if needed.
I have not used the jack that comes with the truck, but it seems better than the death traps that come with cars. On road trips i usually carry an cordless impact to make dealing with the lugs one less hassle.
