Just saw a new floor jack at Harbor Freight that has a very low (just over 2 inches I think)profile. It had a foot pump as well as the long handle. Very wide stance and long reach to get way under the car. On sale for $105. Looks well made.
 
Well did you buy one?????? :laugh:
 
No, I already have 3 assorted floor jacks. Hate them all for different reasons. Storage problems. Do I see a yard sale in my future?
 
I was there today also. They have two low profile jacks. Lots of steel , they look heavy duty and two lengths and weight limits. As long as the hydralic pistons hold up it might be worth trying. One was on sale for $79.

I got one of their low profile steel jacks for about $60 two years ago and it has held up great. Will actually fit under the front sway bar when fully lowered and works like a charm sliding under the rear and using the rear cross member to lift the car up. I put an old polishing bonnet on the cradle to prevent scratching and also use a piece of 2 x 8 x 18 cedar ( a softer wood) as a further way to prevent damaging the rear cross member and spread the load somewhat. Always use jack stands once I got 'er up in the air. This jack goes from about 2+ inches to 22+ inches so really good range. I have also bought some stuff from HF and it is pure junk, but happy with the jack.
Regards,
Mike

PS - think the jack was $89 or $99 and had a coupon to get the price down
 
This is not the aluminum one they have been selling. This one is new and has a greater reach. I have one of their blue silver low profile ones, this is lower and longer.
