Tire Jack after Lift

I purchased my truck used and came with no tire jack. Now that I have installed a 2" leveling kit the jack I purchased does not lift the truck high enough to get the tires off the ground. Where can I purchase a decent jack that I can conceal in the truck. I had a small floor jack in the truck floorboard but would like something a less revealing. Thank you in advance.

this one is tough.... its kinda the price you pay. do you have a toolbox in the bed? thats about the best way to do it. i doubt that you will find something small enough to conceal, yet large enough to work. i used to keep a floor jack and blocks in the tool box. now, i dont have one at all.... so id have to call someone.

I do not have a tool box and really don't want one because of space limitations. I am usually hauling a 4 wheeler around in the bed or other items. I thought this may be a problem and have researched jacks but keep coming up empty. I also drive around with no jack but do belong to AAA for that reason. Problem is I drive around our property and deer lease and doubt that AAA can find me out there. I'll keep looking. Thanks for the input.

got a 3 ton Bottle Jack myself. ain't exactly pleased with the idea, but it's the best I can come up with.

kinda thinking a Tool Box and rolling high rise jack might be in order

Get a high lift jack, and store it on the floor, in the bed tool box, or fabricate a locking mount. They come in 48" and 60" legnths and have a 1001 uses. They are available at Tractor Supply, and any 4X4 supply company. Jeepers have been using them for years. Totally awsome tool.

and where will you hook up this high lift to jack the truck?

the rear is pretty easy, just use your reciever if you are brave...but the front?
