A good low profile jack
Can anyone recommend a good low profile jack?
I'm slowly building a spare tire kit and I will obviously need a jack. Obviously a simple scissor jack would work but I'd prefer a floor jack. Also the lower the better as my car is lowered. Thanks! |

I use this one from Harbor Freight in my own garage. I love it, VERY low profile!!! But it's definitely NOT something you want to haul around in your trunk!!! Too big and heavy!!!

This is the one I use ... http://atdtools.com/7325
Here is the link for the Amazon listing ... http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Desig...5PZJH2JDVJREJH It is a little expensive but it is super low profile and has a very very long reach. The Harbor Freight item listed by BMR is also a great jack for a much lower price. I just needed that extra reach because my car is really low. |

I wouldn't intend to haul it around all the time. I only plan to bring the spare on long road trips through the southern desert.

My 2-ton jack stopped working on this Camaro. I would try to find at least a 2.5 ton.
It's a race for me to jack up the car and get a jack stand under it while it slowly drops haha
