I have a "Low Profile" one from Sears. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_0...pment+%26+Jacks
It'll get up under the side jacking points, but still not low enough to hit the one in the front to lift the whole front. Still have to use the good 'ol 2x4's.

Don't get a Craftsman jack!
I have an aluminum one that I paid $200 for. The seals went bad after 2 years. And I only used it maybe once a month. The worst part being that Sears says they are not repairable. For those of you that would like to flame me: First check the internet for similar claims. There are tons. Also I have a buddy with a shop. He has had at least 8 of this same jack. He goes through them so fast Sears gives him a new one every time.
I really respect Sears and the Craftsman quality. But they fall very short with the floor jacks.
I have this one now.

So far I'm pretty happy. It's definitely not as smooth as the craftsman though.

I had a Craftsman for about 3-4 years and one day I went to use it and the seals busted and there was fluid everywhere. It was a good jack and I got my money out of it. Now the current jack I have, I'm on my second one. The first time I used it, I got about 3-4 good pumps and the bracket that holds the shock/cylinder in place broke. I took it back and got another. The new one has worked great so far! I agree with ClemsonWill, they're not that great, but IMO they're decent. Keep in mind, I bought the cheap $79.99 model not the $200.

I buy Craftsman tools because of the overall quality but I ONLY buy Craftsman tools that have the Unconditional lift time warranty. Even if its crap, I should never have to buy it again.
