Did you unscrew the top of the jack? It should have a threaded adjustment.

This is my bottle jack spec..

I thought this jack height is 22'... 7' of folded height + maximum lift height 15'...

I can't understand how my jack can not work for my jeep.. Just 2.5' lifted..

That should work, place it directly under the axle tube right under the springs. If you a couple inches off pick up a 1 foot by 1 foot by 2" thick piece of wood and you'll be good! I have a bottle jack that is 18" max height and it works with 35" tall tires with lots of room to go up!
