that omega jack is the same jack that came on my j&s. i just had to rebuild it after 10 years of use. all it needed was an o-ring on the lift plunger.
but, i am bookmarking this info for future reference in case i ever need it. thanks. the one from harbor freight that i originally bought didn't work, it was just a tad too tall and wouldn't let the jack lower enough to fit under the frame, hence the need to rebuild the original.

i get it. in my case, the only problem i found on disassembly was a blown o-ring on the handle plunger. o-ring kit from harbor freight for less than $5 took care of that. luckily i didn't have to get into removal of the jack body canister and all. otherwise, i would have looked for a different solution. unfortunately, in my case, that would involve either mail order or a few miles of travel. i live in bfe (we got a walmart and a dollar general)
