Default Floor Jack. *Suggestions*

I'm bout to buy a floor jack... but prejacking or driving onto 2 2x4's gets old.

Any low profile floor jacks?

The problem is that low profile is not enough. They need the depth to get to the center lift points and then the handle has no room to pump. Driving up on the boards is the easiest way to go.

I own and use the DK13HLQ. It even fits under my lowered S2000.

Here's what I use:

Works great from the side jack points. I think it'll work on the rear jackpoint too.

i just got a torin low profile jack at pep boys. looks similar to the harbor freight, but it is smaller and has only 1 handle on the side. only 28lbs. vs. my 60lb craftsman jack. both are of equal quality, i must say i was impressed for 80 bucks.
