Heh... I can only wish. Not only don't I have the $3k for that lift, I also don't have the garage for it!

This question comes up every couple of years. Here are just a few of what the forum search function finds:

Thanks. I tried searching and found a few old threads; I'm not sure how I didn't come across those threads.

I also wanted to find out about recent purchases: based on the reviews I've read, it appears that there's been a lot of churn on the low end of floor jacks in the last couple of years, so many of the models recommended before are no longer available.

Again, thanks - that helps!

At one time I was considering an AC Jack DK13HLQ but I choked on the price.

I really like this jack. May get one this year. It reminds me of this Omega Blackhawk but less than 1/2 of the price.

Those AC jacks are great too, but the price keeps going on on them.

That's the one I bought. I think it's the best, but expensive. I had to cancel one trip to the blackjack tables to pay for it!

Ditto. I waited for a sale and got it a lot cheaper. Its one of the few "low profile" jacks that fits under my s...a minimum height of 2 5/8" i believe.

Its not the best quality ive seen, but its not the worst. Jacks will fail sooner or later and its hard to find a decent one with a lifetime warranty that meets my low profile criteria and isnt more than several hundred dollars.

Only downside to thos one is that its heavy, but i dont plan on keeping it in the trunk.
