Ok it will reach on a stock height S2k.. I fully expect it to bottom out on mine like every other jack 
Thanks for the info. I'll never be free from the 2x4s.

I purchased the Torin Aluminum Racing Jack 1.5 Ton from costco back in Nov. During its second session of use (put the S on 4 jack stands for diff & tranny fluid change), I was left with a pool of oil on the ground after every heavy lift. By the end of the fluid change, the jack would barely lift enough to get the car off the jack stands because it had leaked too much fluid! Thanfully its a breeze to return merchandise to Costso. Now I'm looking for another jack though, and I have qualms about buying the same model again. 
Anyone got an updated recommendation for a floor jack?

I had to replace my Omega a few months ago 
nothing was wrong with it, I just didn't have room in the garage. The previous tenant built a nice big workbench but at the cost of garage depth 
I replaced it with a US General lightweight racing jack from Harbor Freight. It's ok except for some squeaking at the top of the jack's range. It's a LOT lighter than the Omega and smaller and shorter than both the Omega and an old Arcan floor jack (which I think came from Costco)
