Onboard Air Actuated or Hydraulic Jack
Does anyone make (or has anyone tried to make) an onboard air actuated or hydraulic jack for a car. I am talking about something similar to Indy cars. Plug in a hose (or flip a hydraulic switch) and deploy feet mounted to the frame for easy access to changing tires.
I tried searching and browsed a few really old threads but did not find an answer. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it was just a thought. It would also allow you to throw out the tool kit in the trunk (save for a tire iron).
Go go gadget responses...or flames.

Only problem is weight. Indy cars have them because they have a minimum weight requirement so ballast may as well be useful.
I would love an air powered jack for my garage though.

Links for more info are at the top of the page, I think you build the system yourself and use their pneumatic pistons. You need 20 bar = 290 psi for the piston to lift the max 467 kg = 1029 lb.
