I have two issues with bottle jacks. At full extension they aren't very stable. On soft ground you're as likely to push their small base into the ground as you are to lift the vehicle. A third occasional issue is that some of them do not like being stored or transported any way but upright.
I was given the full suite of Bogert parts as a thank you. They're heavy. With a bottle jack included they are heavier than the floor jack.
I built a mount for the floor jack that hung it off the side of the frame under my first Suburban. Really wasn't any other place to carry it. I currently carry it strapped to the spare tire carrier, but I've been chewing on how to modify the Sub's frame hanger to do a cleaner job of carrying it on the spare carrier.
