Another Jack Thread
I bought the Sonic Tool's 1.5 Metric Ton floor jack. It weighs about 22lbs and can lift up to 3306 lbs fine. It's about 3" from the ground to the top of the pad & has nylon casters so it's quiet when rolling around in the garage or grid.
That and the HF Daytona are my two floor jacks.

I just bought the AC Hydraulic long reach one. The AC is MUCH better, particularly when releasing or dropping the car back down. Much more controllable which is/was my main complaint about the HF and like jacks. Sometimes they were like an on/off switch.
It can just barely reach the center on my dropped S (no lip).

I went with the Arcan XL2T from another post recommendation a while back. Works great but I still need some height from wood up front to reach the center jack spot. I end up using it for a lot of things like raising up my zero turn lawn mower to remove blades or clean the deck.
Figured I'd update this. I ended up going with the Harbor Freight low profile, long reach. It came down to that and the Arcan XL2T. The Arcan has a smaller minimum height (2.75" vs 3.25") and is a 2 ton jack vs the HF's 3 ton, but the jacks are pretty similar otherwise. BOTH jacks still require wood under the front tires. I have trust issues with heavy shipments getting to me in one piece and didn't want to have to fight them on a possible return of the Arcan so that also factored into my decision to go with HF. That being said, the Arcan is on sale big time right now for 183 shipped (it was 250 ish a few days ago) FYI for anyone interested. I'm in a bit of a time crunch, otherwise, I might have returned the HF and tried the Arcan for that price. Link to the Arcan below for anyone interested.
