Well it's on sale, with the coupon code that's on the product page it's only $109.99.

On a stock Z, this jack can reach the front center jacking point from the front bumper with no drama. For the side, it'll fit under the lowest of Z's.


Low Profile Floor Jack - 2 Ton, Rapid Pump® Jack

Check it out!

I made a post on my facebook a little while ago about that type of low profile jack !!

The lowest point of my Z was about 3'' this jack is awesome ! :) I just hope it will last more than 1 race season as I averaged 1-2 jack/year

It is heavy but the long reach low profile is good enough;)

I just bought this at a Harbor Freight outlet and was wondering if anyone knows where to buy a compatible rubber disc for the jack? Or maybe a slotted rubber one to jack the frame rail without damaging it?

been lowered with swift springs. Still could not reach the front jacking point in the center as my sports lower lip is on the way, any where I can jack it up?
Is it safe to jack it on the lower suspension link or to the under tow hook at the end of the chassis subframe in front ? Thanks

Pull up onto a flat 2x4, you'll clear.

I'll add my 2cents worth. I had the rapid pump aluminum 2ton and got caught in a awkward position when I went to lower my car after installing my exhaust. I ended up blowing the seals on it and threw it away. I went down to harbor and bout the 4ton version. It is extremely heavy, however that thing Is well over-engineered for my car which is what I was shooting for. I can lift that car as high as needed for diff and trans draining as well as comfortably flushing my brake fluid. That jack is the cats meow...hope this helps.

Depends on the reseller. If you search google there are many available resellers, and you may want to factor in shipping costs and such (esp residential delivery on liftgate, etc). All that said, most of the public retailer quotes are in the ballpark of $1500->$2000. Well worth it, IMHO, if you have a garage bay to dedicate to it. A stock Z gets on fine. If you're lowered, you'll want to make little ramps/platforms out of wood at the ends and then it still works fine. Super easy to work on the wheel wells on this thing, and you get good enough access to the front/rear to do oil changes, diff work, and suspension work. The only thing you can't really reach is the center area around the transmission. Max lift height is only around 2 feet, but it's still better than jacks and stands, and it's about all I can raise the car anyways in a standard-height garage.
