Here is a web link where I got it from:
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?...pid=00950239000

PMantis24: They are very similar to one I got. Only difference is mine is steel with aluminum and links to your are all aluminum.

That is awesome deal with only $129

boxer6, thanks for the info, I appreciate it

Oh about the gallery, it's been a bit buggy lately. I get the same thing when trying to upload a pic once in awhile.

The x-brace is definately a must have for the S, whatever brand you choose

Here's the Ricks xbrace on my S for reference

I was just looking at this jack the other day.....I want to know before I spend $200 if it will fit under a lowered car, and if so, will it make it to the differential if I go from the back?

I have the Harbor Feight jack and I have seen the sear jack. They look almost the same. The Sear jack will be easier to get parts for years from now.

Will it fit on a lowered car, most likely not. It fits under my stock car but there is not more then 1/2" to spare. I am sure you can get to the diff lowered or not.

For a lowered car I would suggest to just drive up onto a couple of 2x6's to get it high enough for the jack that'll save you money in looking for a jack that goes super low.

The sears one will jack up anything that's 3 3/4" and up. I have about another 1 1/2" space when I put the jack under the car. So as long as your car is not lower than 3 3/4" you should be fine.
