My jack only goes to 14.25 and I can only get the jackstands in at close to their lowest setting. I'm able to change the oil, but everything is still in my face.

Ive been looking at jacks and found this one @ Northern Tool

Min lift height 3.5 in
Max lift height 21.375 in

My garage is really cramped right now and I have a gravel driveway so it looks like Im going to have to half *** it for a while.

Check out Costco, 3.25 ton, 3.5 clearance, $104.99. It's well built and heavy steel
