Finally A Decent Jack
 

Okay, right up front it's from Harbor Freight. So the elitists can kindly exit now. :ugh2: For everyone else this thing is low profile (2-5/8") and can still get enough height to max out most jackstands (23-3/4"). It's not that fancy aluminium stuff so it's definitely not portable. The shipping weight showed 100 pounds and that's probably not too far off the mark. Otherwise it's quite good. Still can't reach the front middle jack location without a side jack first unfortunately. And a pic at almost full height.

Nice! What did it cost?

I think this is the same model Kenchan is always bragging about ;-)

I use a hf aluminum low profile jack and it's still too high to fit it under the front of the car. I just drive onto a couple 4*6 nailed together.

If you have a front lip you have to jack up the front first or you're going to break the lip don't raise the rear first.

^oooh yeah, a common mistake some people make. crack lips FTL

List Price: $199 (riiiiiight) Sale Price: $129

At that height in the rear the OEM front guards are just touching and I'm lowered on H&R springs. As stated above you would want to jack the front first with this jack.

Also, in the following pic you'll notice my little jack. I jacked it up at the shown height to allow the larger jack to fit underneath from the front. Now I just need taller jack stands.

I bought a much cheaper aluminum floor jack from HF and it has worked fine for me every time. It was a quarter of the price this was though and definitely doesn't lift the car nearly as high. Nice find!

I jumped on RCZ's used flywheel and I figure I'll need all the space I can get to drop the transmission without a lift.

Hi professordave! :D yes, but I brag cause I have two of them in my garage. :rofl2:
Thats a nice hydraulic. :tup: mines the cheaper one. :)

That looks like a nice garage jack. :tup:

It really is a great jack for the $.

Selson HBNXLO 2.5 Tonne 2 Bag Air Jack: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Are you serious? Does it actually work well?

Which jack are you referring to?

That air jack. You don't actually use that do you? My sarcasm detector is no good over the internet.

Yeah these things are great just slide it under the pinch weld (front or rear)connect your air line and push the button.

the bags that are used in these are the same as the ones on 18 wheelers just a smaller size,the bags are made from Firestone.

Plus the one I have looks like the cheap one in my link but mine is made by Pro jack a name brand company.

Very nice. I need to buy a pinch weld plate for my smaller jack before it beats up my rails too much.

Nice, I've been looking for a high jack stand. How do you get your jack stands under it and get it to 20"+?

I'm still looking to see if there are some jack stands that will work at that height. SAFELY.

No chocks?
