I'm curious who has them, jack I have now is a 3 ton and barely squeaks under the front air deflector or whatever it is. So I'm in the market for something lower since the car will now be lower, Amazon has many choices of brands I've never heard of and so I'm just looking for opinions, or should I just drive it up onto some 2x6 's or something?

Hit or miss with their stuff.

I needed a miter saw so I bought their ~100 saw with a 20% coupon. I hoped it would last at least a year.

It's been a few years now, it's done all the trim and baseboard in my house with it. I've built a deck with it, and two weeks ago a swingset/playhouse for my kids. Still going strong.

Actually most of the crap I buy there is still doing ok. The only this that broke so far is that red plastic creeper they sell. Middle wheel snapped off one day. I was in the middle of eating a donut too, so I took it as a sign.

I have the Harbor Freight one RaggedGT posted. I've had it for probably 5 years or so and it has been good. Even lifted a corner on my F150 a time or 2 with it.

Picked this up at Harbor Freight since as it turns out there is a store near me, 2 1/2" tall and a longer reach than standard. Release is a dial at the top at the handle which to me is great compared to twisting the handle. Paid 139 bucks for it and planned to return it when I was finished with my springs, but I kinda like having two Jacks around so I'm gonna keep it. I won't be using it on my Super Duty but it's perfect for Mustang.

You know I thought I would be doing the same thing, but this jack makes it under there no problem, even clears the air deflector and the handle is not trapped under the bumper.

48k in 1997 but it will lift 4k lbs
Kinda steep for a jack and don't work too good on low riders but will basically last forever.
