Re: Looking for low profile floor jack



Take a look at the aluminum racing jacks at Harbor Freight.
Takes about $159 to get one, but the business end is right at 3.5 inches

Recently got a new sports car with a pretty low ground clearance, & I find
my venerable 20 year old Craftsman floor jack will not fit under the front
end to raise the front wheels via the engine xmember.  Actually, it fits
UNDER, there just isn't any clearance left to actually pump the handle, I
have to 1st pull the front wheels up on a couple 1" thick pieces of plywood.
So I'm looking for a low profile floor jack, one which is no higher than
about 5.50" from the floor at its highest point along it's entire length
(not including when the lift cradle is raised, of course).  Would like about
20" of lift.

TIA
