Default Need portable jack recommendation

I just replaced my Goodyear run flats with non run flat tires and in addition to a plug kit, pump, slime and tire wrench, I need to get a jack that will fit under the vette with a flat....in case I need to jack up the car to remove the tire to be able to remove the nail or whatever is causing the puncture. Recommendations anyone for a jack that will fit?
