any input on a low profile jack?

[madness410]

im in the market for a new hydraulic jack. ever since i put the koni / strano lowering kit on my ws6 my old one is too tall to slip under my car.

browsing google there is a craftsman one for $50 which i guess is an ok brand, and a jegs one for $200, and a few other brands. it will just be used for my trans am. im not looking to spend an arm and a leg but im also looking for a decent jack that wont fail and kill me trying to jack up the car.

thanks for any input.

YMMV, but as a casual user, I'm very happy with my $80 2.5 Ton low-profile Harbor Freight steel jack. Coupons regularly pop up to get it for around that price.

I've got a 3 ton jack from sears, its been going strong for probably as long as this forum has been up. I usually have to drive the car up on some wood boards to get it in. Also Craftsman has their whole life time warranty.

+1 on the HF jack. I have one and its perfect for my needs.

Get a 2x10. Cut it long enough to drive the front wheels on..

+1 for the harbor frieght 2.5 low profile. had it for 2-3 years now lifted my old silverado, and my tahoe with it a bunch of times as well as my camaro its been good to me for 80$

Another for the HF low profile floor jack. Lifts my jeep and camaro no issue, Ive had it for about 2 years now. I'd buy again
