Is that available in the US?
Shogun has it from Germany :D
That is the ideal stuff for people like you and me, working on cars with no concrete underneath, like your farm or soft ground. And also for the others, especially when changing to snow chains etc.

Looks a bit funny on that small car. But:
Solves all the problems, no worry to get scratches, uses the exhaust gases to pump it up.
Has a check valve, so that engine can be stopped after inflation.
From the ad:
Autolift - more than just a jack! Secure hold due to large support surfaces, no damage to paintwork, lifts two wheels in the air at the same time, ideal for soft terrain (sand, snow), supplied in handy bag. The balloon air jack with remarkable performance. No other jack has so many advantages than this robust and powerful car lift. Simply attach to the exhaust pipe and it's ready to use. The running engine's (idle) exhaust fumes pump up the balloon jack. (a check valve prevents deflation). No injuries resulting from slipping off the lever. Can be placed under all carrying parts, e.g. in the centre of the car or the axle. Also ideal for changing wheels and applying snow chains, as the vehicle can be raised in such a way as to make two wheels accessible at the same time. Raises cars, trailers, caravans, etc. up to 2000kg permissible overall weight. Max. height: 60 cms!!!!
Sold in Germany by Westfalia
Weight is 2657 gramms only.
Price is 44.99 EURO, so maybe 55 US $.
