I originally bought a Sprinter jack but couldn't get an adapter made easily.
Sold that and bought a 2 tonne trolley jack from Machine Mart which sits behind the middle row seats.

I've been using a Merc Sprinter bottle jack for a few years and it fits the jack compartment with a little cutting of the foam._,,,_______///________

The d1/2 bottle jacks are very good, decent sized base, two stage, unsure if they will fit under the lower arms with a puncture?
