6 ton bottle jack works well and doesn't take up much space.Overkill but I like having the additional capacity/safety factor. They cost around $20-30.

The one I have is made by Pro-Lift

Yeah, a bottle jack works and even 1 1/2 ton is adequate. You need to try it out and carry the required cribbing to get enough lift to get a wheel off the ground and to keep it from sinking in.

I carry 1.5 ton normal floor jack from harbor freight but any good bottle jack, 1.5t or larger, is fine.

Yes, I also carry a piece of 2x6 if I need to lift off bare ground.

I very a floor back a 2x6 and a couple blocks of wood along with my 4 way. After you try to change a tire with anything else in the rain and or heat you won't go back
