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.

A long one, yes that's what I thought ;-) Sometime back I saw details of which jacks might get to the center jack point. (Can't find that info now.) I would expect it to be much easier to lift from the center and use jack stands on each side to stabilize. Trying to get the jack stand beside the side jack is a challenge.

I back my car on ramps then use my 2 jacks to jack the car evenly. Then support the front with 2 jack stands and either leave the rear on the ramps or jack it from the diff and supprt it with jack stands on the sub frame back there.

I have it down to an art form.
