So for weight purposes you can either remove the scissor jack from the truck, and either find a way to fit it by the wheel, or stash in the cargo net...if you have one. In a non descript long bag of course.
Ah, ok. Got confused there for a bit.

To be honest, I would say the stock spare scissor jack is about as low profile and compact as it's gonna get. No other design I can think of can fold that small, and have such a low min starting height. If it comes to a point where your car is basically touching frame to the ground, you'll have to jack up the rear (if the front is flat) or the front (if the rear is flat) to get enough clearance to wedge a block or something underneath. But this is probably gonna be a very rare scenario.
