i have the harbor freight blue aluminum jack. its good for the money. wears out quickly if you use it a lot though. it has a wide platform where you shouldnt ever have to worry about it slipping off. thats why i was curious to know what kind of jack you were using

Damn Joe, Sucks to hear that. I got mine fixed, can't tell anything happened to it, but it cost me $400. Ouch. I picked up a low profile harbor freight jack for 65 bucks so this won't happen to me again.

Where did you get that jack? Does it reach all the way to the front and back center jack points?

Yes, but what length jack do we need to get to the central jack points at the front and back. A quick search on s2ki didn't give answers that were explicit on this matter.

A long one lol. I didn't get an extra long jack, but just a lower profile one. That way I could use part of the subframe or the frame rail as jacking points instead of those itty bitty things. Pretty sure it still won't reach the central jack points with the car on the ground.
