Set the jack on a plank.

That's two votes -- if the compact spare idea doesn't work, that'll do.
I'll have to keep moving the plank, 'cause I'm more than one plank's
length* away. But that's a little itty bitty problem.

I've moved hot tubs and all but one of my machines on overlapping 3/4
plywood and a dolly or two. dolly: 4 casters and wood.

Long ago I burnt up the engine on my Audi and a friend said he'd go
get it for me cause he needed something off of it. He put a cable
around and under the car just in front of the doors and picked it up
with a boom truck. Crushed the hell out of the body, car was newly
reconditioned.
