also...i understand the minimum height is 3.5 inches versus the harbor freight at 2.5 inch. solution? drive up on a 2x4 and your car is now 2 inches higher. as for the reach...the harbor freight one has a max depth of 39" it seems. the arcan at costco goes 47.75". quite a bit longer..but also much heavier! |
I'm guessing this is one of those things where the photo on the product page isn't actually of the product. There's no way the jack pictured on the Amazon website has a 47.75" reach lol.
That's a pretty crazy reach, I gotta admit.
And yeah, I actually have a set of 3" Race Ramps that I use to make jacking even easier.
