I do lug a high lift around, with an adaptor for the jack points.  It
may be overkill but it works.

Another option is the OEM scissors jack, bus depot sells.

One more thing, an reg oem jack on the rear drivers side, and the
scissors jack on the rear passenger side (so that sliding door still
clears), both taking up the slack so to speak, makes the van much
more stable when camping. Its a noticeable difference, especially for
those in the upper bunk. I don't have the scissors jack, but even the
one jack has an effect.

No, I'm not going there if you are thinking what I think you're
thinking :)
