I have a draper one, it's ok but a little unstable, mine try's to roll so I have to chock the wheels, so if I'm able I choose the standard jack but soft ground the exhaust jack everyday

I also have the draper one, and have used it successfully for putting the syncro gearbox back in by myself 3 years ago. Only used it once on the Kangoo, where it bent something underneath whilst jacking up. You need a good flat surface under which to put it, or a strong piece of wood. Would most likely work under the trailing arm, but not tried it.

I used the jack to lift the gearbox up, and then because it is a quite flexible it is easy to get the box lined up and to wriggle it in. Really was a good way of doing it as the box was stable on the top of the bag, but able to move around, and easy to lower a bit by releasing a bit of gas.
