Jacks, which one is best?
OK, There is one topic on this here, but I need one ASAP to complete more Mods on the Camaro.
My jack would not slide under the car so I need to find one that works and fits without any issues or before spending the money on one just to find out it does not fit under. I saw some at walmart that were a low profile, any takers on this? What do you all reccomend? Thanks |

I've got Napa's low profile jack and is working well for me. My SS is lowered 1.25". Look for a sale as the jack is normally $250.

There is another option, which has been discussed previously.
Race Ramps can be used in lieu of purchasing another floor jack. http://www.raceramps.com/roll-ups.aspx Here is a picture of my "roll up" ramp. I just drive up on them and use my regular jack to put it up on jack stands. It saved me from having to buy another floor jack:

I got the lo pro torin jack from walmart.
It is not low enough for my car. Dropped about 1". I use some 10x2 boards that I made a little ramp out of and then jack it up with the low pro.

I have the Arcan XL35 jack. It is a low profile jack that is perfect for lowered cars, yet can jack up trucks and SUVs as well. If you have a Northern Tools store in your area, they should have it there. The one here in Tulsa has a couple of them for $150.
