That's part of the problem. There's no way I'm trusting a jack that costs $19.99. There's so much Chinese crap on the market, I don't know where to go to buy a quality one...

Bottle jacks aren't that expensive. Don't go by the tons that it can lift. Instead go with the measurement that you will need to lift it high enough. The one I picked is a 8 ton unit but its lift measurement met my needs. I got mine from Sears for $30. It also fits nicely in the totes that are next to the spare tire.

What is the model that you got from Sears?

I bought it back in 2011. I don't think my model is available anymore at Sears. They do have a similiar one though. I would measure the height off the ground to the jack point so your jack fits underneath. Then make sure the jack will go high enough to lift the tire off the ground. Almost any bottle jack will do the job. Chances are that you will only use it a couple of times. It really doesn't need to be the Binford 5000 top of the line jack.
