Default Low Profile Jacks

I bought a Grizzly low profile jack. It weighs a ton, 108lb to be exact, and doesn't quite reach the front jack point. The shipping costs make it essentially unreturnable, so I'm weighing my options.

Option one: trim it down with a plasma torch to fit. I think this will work, but I need to make a couple of measurements.

Option two: sell it on craigslist and pick up another jack. Which leads me to my question-> is there a good jack out there that will reach the front jack point?

Here's the jack:

It is indeed, but Tooltopia doesn't tell you if it can reach the front jack point of an S2000. The omega (the only one that looks like it might) won't.

I've already searched here, and pretty much everyone seems to use some 2x4's and a cheapie jack.

If you say it works, I believe you.

I was going off of this :

It shows the hump starting at 25". I had measured 28" from the lip to the center of the jacking point.

[edit: it's same link as your pic. You slipped your post in somehow.]
