Default 2001 Suburban 2500 'Jack' and 'Lug tools'?

Hi - need a set for my Suburban.

I looked on ebay and am seeing listings with photos of a jack with yellow ****....and one with a red ****.

Which one is for the 2500?
Or if someone has a part number - that would help.

I need the jack and tools. (I may post an ISO here...but I still need to know 'what' to get.

I'd like to store it underneath - but don't know if that even works (the tire was out when I got the SUV).

Any help is appreciated - thanks!

Looks like I'll respond to my own post:

I found the jack and lug tool (where they were supposed to be)...and the 'handle' is BLUE!

This is a 2001 2500 Suburban.

lol - well, where they were supposed to be...under the panel in the drivers side rear.

I miss-read the labeling on the panel and thought the jack and tool were to be ON TOP in the bins....oops!

The more important thing...the 2500 series has a BLUE **** on the Jack.
I'll take a look and see if there is a part number.
If someone would get the 'yellow' and 'red' jack part number - we could see if there's a difference.

Not sure if it matters - but it may!

If you have not already, I would highly recommend taking them out and using them to be familiar with how they work...

On a forum post a while back someone posted that suggestion, to try the jack and know how to use it and lower the wheel BEFORE you are in a situation to need it....
I did try and it am glad I did... It actually took me a while to figure out what end of the jack extension is needed to lower the wheel... I did it wrong first time around and was getting peeved at it, but figured it out... glad it was only a practice run as I would have been cussing and throwing things had it happened on the side of the road in the dark on a cold night...

Yea...I tested it and loaded the tire back up (as it was out).

Now to look into the 'SECURITY' message that came on today
