FG649 Jack Suggestion

Hi all
As part of my camper renovation I had cause to use the FG jack and got a real surprise on the amount of travel on the standard mitsubishi jack. So here is the issue, from what I can see a super single tire flat drops the height of the vehicle axle 7 inches. The mitsubishi jack will only raise the height of the axle 5 inches, thus you would need to Jack the vehicle up a second time to get the new tire in at least. No a safe practice.
So has anyone updated their jack to one that travels a little more than 5 inches and if so, what did you use please?
Thanks in advance

Steve

Hi all
Just though I would complete this post. After much searching I found a 2 stage (dual lift) 6 tonne bottle Jack on eBay. Seems they are rare as hen's teeth here in Australia. Min height 230mm max height 480mm.

Hope this assists someone.
Cheers
Steve
