Yikes! Please clarify - did the rubber pad crack or the metal plate that supports it?

I double checked mine, and the problem is my trailer hitch - it is slightly lower than the bumper. So the jack should work fine with stock cars. Thanks for the clarification

Just bought the US General Jack for $200 at HF. They were selling pretty quickly for a $200 jack after Thanksgiving day. I think this is quite a bargain for a low-profile, aluminum jack. It looks so nice I almost waxed it

Have yet to see how durable it is though. Time will tell.

CoralDoc,

The cast aluminum plate cracked on the edge. I was jacking the lower arm on my van to install some ball joints. Just make sure you center loads on the pad. I wouldn't trust the edge/lip of the pad to hold anything!
