Freestar/Monterey Replacement Jack

My Wife had a flat week before last and she collapsed the flimsy Jack that came with the Vehicle. Not sure what happened, but I noticed the Jack had a tendency to walk and tilt when I tried lifting the Vehicle. It just didn't seem strong enough for the Monterey. I'm looking for a stronger jack, preferably a Hydro/Scissors jack. I'd like to be able to stow it where the O.E.M. jack goes. Anyone have any ideas?

Does the Freestar use the same jack as the Windstar? The one in our '98 Windstar is a pain in the butt to use, but it seems relatively sturdy...

I carry a 2-ton floor jack in my truck, but that's not so feasible in a minivan lol...

I find the small (2 ton) bottle jacks will work on most vehicles and stow anywhere, usually in the stock jack location.
