When I got the Muddog, it had no jack. All the factory sets seemed to run at $100 or more. I finally bit the bullet and got one. I FINALLY got it to move, but barely. Eventually it locked up on me. I found this set, for a Jeep Liberty for about $60 on ebay. SAME jack as a Dodge Ram. You can leave it in the carrier as is, or stow it like the TJ jack.

If you carry around a half inch impact, its worth it to make you're own extension to use for the bottle jack. My hand me down snap on impact will lift the jeep with the bottle jack in just a few seconds.

My daughter drives a Liberty.. 2006. It came with a scissor jack in that plastic carrier, mounted under the passenger side rear seat.
