A floor jack works fine.
Don't jack it up by putting it under the center of the differential or cross member in the front. That is forbidden in the owner's manual.

What do you mean by floor jack? If it is one of those long things that you roll around, you are both nuts. You could fit at least a case of beer in that space. Mudbone, if it is not under the spare or behind the "carpet" on the right side, you can pick one up in a salvage yard.

I wish I knew that before (no manual). are you supposed to jack it up by the pinch weld or the frame? Any idea why it's forbidden?? (I guess you could snag the sway bar in the rear)

Mine's wedged under donut spare.
A bottle jack will be a pain. if it's tall enough to lift the tire off the ground, it wont fit under the frame rail (esp if you have a flat), and the lift head will bend the bottom of your frame rails.
