Go for the bottle jack Kingpleb
The disco 2 had one and it was very good will admit to being surprised when I found the FF's flimsy thing.
As for farm jacks you used to be able to get sill adaptors for lifting 4x4's but i dont think they made them for the FF Mine was a blue one!

That would be alright as you have the screw adjustment on the top stage but as been stated make sure the base is solid as these jacks are designed to lift vertically like under lorry axles etc so when jacking a ffrr the weight shifts off centre can cause the blood pressure to rise.Very handy strong compact jack. but a full size trolley jack is the one to have ( budget and space dependant though )

Maybe a nice bit of wood with a chop out for it to slot into would be a good idea for stability and to raise it FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

i carry a bottle jack from a defender and have used it many a time on both the car and caravan.

a genuine L/R botle jack from a defender or disco doesn't cost too much money and they can usually be picked up on ebay.

far easier than a scissor jack. Current: TDV8 (3.6) RRS HSE

Past: TDV8(4.4) Vogue
Discovery 3 Commercial
TDV8(3.6) Vogue
TD6 Vogue
D2 V8 ES
D1 V8 ES
RR Vogue Classic
