| Low Profile Jacks
Some of you must have lowered rides. I'm getting tired of using my spare tire jack and then using my other jack.
Which ones do you guys recommend and how much did you pay? I am eying the michelin one at CT if anyone has that one please comment

I use a set of wooden planks and drive my car up on those first, then use a regular jack. Hell of a lot cheaper than buying a low-profile jack.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

Yeah, I've done that wooden plank thing before when I had a garage and alot of space. Lving in a condo now with a sqeeze for space.
I think I'll splurge and go the Costco Route- They have a crazy return policy.

The Harbour freight I got many years ago and paid roughly $80. I picked up in store and brought it back. Quote:

I dunno - for a $100 I'd rather just have a new nice aluminum jack that jacks up faster and higher than the old crapy one, and I don't have to fiddle with planks!
If Costco has it for $59.99 - I'll go buy another one, cuz that's a GREAT price!
