I was still thinking to use the jack that came with the truck but I noticed its missing the handle that you use to crank it up..... I might need to go down to the dealer to ask about this.
Without being harsh but if you do not have the basic mechanical knowledge of being able to select a jack to buy for your vehicle, rebuilding your own brakes is probably not a task you should be undertaking.
