That's what I thought. Pumpkin is an inch lower now.

Craftsman Aluminum jack, its about 200.00.

Not to threadjack, but has anyone used or own a hydraulic air floor jack. That would be pretty sweet to hook up to my compressor. I found one on Ebay for only 250 shipped.

Same here, not very impressed with Crapsman anymore.

I will have to take a look at this one. I still do not have a good one yet.

I had to put my zip code in to get this far, so if you cant see it... it may be a regional thing

I heard the ATD-7325 Jack is the exact same build as the more pricey Omega 29023 Jack.
$243.12 shipped on amazon
When I have the funds to spend on a nice jack, this will be my choice.

Strongarm 962

I ordered this jack. It's very low profile and I can reach the first front crossmember even with the car lowered about 1.5" (via Pfadt coilovers).

This jack is great cause it's double pump action and it has a heavy duty rubber saddle.
