Does anyone have this jack and if so, does it fit under our car? The minimum height will fit according to what I found searching this site, but it doesn't give dimensions of the jack and stuff. From the search on this site, I got a ground clearance of 4.2" and this jack says min. height of 3 3/4". What do you guys think/know about this jack.

Thanks,
Nick

P.S. My car is stock.
P.P.S If that link doesn't work you can see the product by going to sears.com and doing a search for sears product #00950239000

I have that jack. The sears one works great. My car is lowered with KG/MM springs and it still fits under the car with extra room to spare.

since you're in canada, does that imply that there is a better one up north?

of course.

it's actually the same jack but marketed under a different name. Up here it goes under the brand "Qualified" Automotive Equipment.

the Sears Jack is not available up here.

I'm sure the Sears jack is real nice but it seems awfully heavy and expensive for an aluminum jack.

I have been very satisfied with my Harbor Freight AL jack. I think you can pick them up for under $150 now. The only downside is that it won't fit under the front, center jack point. But, neither will the Sears jack.
