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.

That paragraph sounds entirely too sexual, but yeah. It's about a jack. Err, a FLOOR JACK. To get your car up.. damnit, to lift your car into the air. I'm going to stop now. |

But I don't really plan on taking this to events or anything, so I don't really care what it weighs. |

if you have a costco membership, id recommend you go to costco and get the 99 dollar arcan low profile jack there. it is HEAVY DUTY, and i would trust my life under this jack versus the harbor freight jack
heres a thread about this (googled it) Arcan XL325R Low Profile Jack ($99 at CostCo) - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum - FT86CLUB |

I've never had any reason to doubt its strength or reliability, but there's not a hydraulic floor jack in the WORLD that I would get underneath without jack stands, so yeah, there's that. |
Quote:
same jack I use... of course I'm a costco employee so yeah lol. Put the 2 jacks together and BAM! you are limitless. The one being talked about at the start of this thread has lower clearance while the larger jack from Costco has better reach. Lift the side a bit to get far enough to jack from the front. |

Just saying. :o |
Is the round plate on that jack removable, and is there a round hole underneath? I ask because I love this thing: Floor Jack Saddle Adapter for Rocker Panel Pinch Weld : Amazon.com : Automotive , but it doesn't really fit all jacks. I had to cut up another jack I had to make it work with it :)

anyway, i love harbor freight as much as the next guy, in fact i have a shitton of their tools, but for a jack, i would much prefer something a bit more "quality". quality is subjective in this case, however, the reason i'd recommend the arcan is, not only is it cheaper (99+tax), every part is replaceable. the jack would literally last you a lifetime. goodluck repairing the harbor freight jack. 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! |
Could not find the coupon for this on the page you linked.
Where can i find the coupon? thanks |
this is the one I got works great and super lite

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. |
I just bought the 2.5 ton version of this jack at my local Harbor Freight on Monday and it was $84.99 on sale. No coupon needed. The reach is shorter but I just drive up on a pair of 2x4s and can reach the front center jack point.

Use the Costco jack and always use the rear diff. as a starting point to get the car on stands. I'm lowered on Swift springs. This one has served me quite well.

Of all the jacks in my garage, my favorite is: BendPak LR-60 Low Rise Lift, 6,000 Lb. Capacity ;)

I just bought one today. Damn it almost popped my Nut Cracker:nutswinger: when I carried the damn thing into my trunk (not the Z) its about 105Lbs.
I hope its all worth it.:tup: |
Been eyeing that jack at harbor freight for a while if i didnt have 2 jacks already i would have bought one by now . i dont care how much it weighs as long as it gets under my cars nicely. it does have wheels you know lol . i have a light one if i need to transport one .Low Profile Aluminum Racing Jack - 2 Ton, Rapid Pump®

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 |

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.
