i have a craftsman 3 ton, but it will not fit under my gas tank, and theres no way in hell it will fit under my k member, i have to use ramps, or pull on to peices of 2x4..........

is it a speed jack or do u have to pump it a billion times?

I was kind of wondering this same thing. I want a low profile speed jack, but they seem to be pretty expensive.

I get soooo tired of having to pump my jack like a million times to put it on stands whae in work on it too.

I got 2 floor jacks (AC Delco from O'Rieleys) 2 ton each for $25 each.
Makes tire rotation, oil changes, fuel filter, so fast and easy. Add in 2 jack
stands for cheap insurance.

I had a Low profile Craftsman and took it back. Not only did I STILL have to drive up on 2x4's but the Jack pad didn't pivot so when you were jacked all the way up, it slipped off the k member... scary stuff indeed...

With that said, i have a 2 ton small floor jack (no clue on brand) it fits under the gas tank easy but still has to have 2x4's to get under the k member (car has a pro kit).

+1million on getting jack stands.. Never can have enough of those around.

I already have Jack stands so I'm good on that, just can't lift the car to put them under lol

I have a crappy 2.5 ton Craftsman someone gave me for free.

I too am looking for a good speed low profile jack(lowered on H&R SS's.)

Jackstands are awesome! Definite insurance against potential injury or even death lol.

Any low pad-height aluminum quick-lift jack will do great. I need one, but they're so bloody expensive.
