You know for the money, Sears has the low design jack for $250. It seems like a lot but for a low profile 3 ton jack, that's pretty good. Also considering that most floor jacks won't go under an fbody without a little help. Just my $0.02 though.

I went and looked at the ones at ADvance but they just looked like a bigger version of the 2 1/2 ton jacks. Those little jacks arent good for anything except maybe a compact car. I want a real floor jack, I will I could find one of those deals for $50 bucks at Sears for the 3 ton and jack stands....I cant afford $100 for a jack. Does Sams or Costco sell them? I looked on their website but couldnt find them and Ebay, Im not paying $50 bucks shipping.
thanks guys

I have a couple questions. The jack we have now is this dinky little thing, my dad said he got it for one of our other cars that sits low. I was at this shop awhile back that had a huge jack, it was like 3 or 3 1/2, I don't exactly remember, but it fit under my friend's civic that was lowered, and I mean ~LOW~. It didn't fit, but he pulled the cup thing off the end, and it just barely slipped right under and fit. I want one of these for my car, since my car will never be as low as this civic was. Is this the "low profile" ones you guys are talking about? It also had this other pedal on the side that raised the jack, but it did it like way faster then using the long handle. Does harbor frieght sell any good ones?
I probably sound like an idot... lol. Can anyone help me out? I have like 150$ burnin a hole in my pocket. Can I get anything similar to that with this much money?

the kind that you are talking aboout, with the 5 foot metal handle that you only have to twist to let down? they do sell those at advance. i sold one last night actually, 2&1/2 ton for $60 i believe. ask the people behind the counter and hope they arent complete idiots(sometimes hard to find

I want one of these. At 3.5" minimum height, it should get underneath that cross member.

Yep!,,thats me! Thats what ive been looking for. You cant beat the price and quality.
Lifting Range: Lifts 5 1/2" - 22" High
Univeral Joint: Ensures smooth release valve operation
ANSI Superior Quality
Magnetic Tool Tray: Ideal for keeping small parts or hardwares
Saddle Pad: Prevents chassis lift point from scratching while lifting
Just one pump brings the saddle all the way up to the chassis

I havent been there to look at it yet, but since you have, how long was the handle? was it long? I hope so.....

So we can lift our cars without the hassle of not being able to get a good pump on the jack? Thats the problem with the little jacks, with the handle under the car theres not enough room to jack the pump up but with a regular car jack and the handle sticking out from under the car the pumps are easier.
How do you release the air? from the handle or a valve?

I went and looked at the jack from SAMS.....that is one fine piece of steel....I would almost hate to buy it and get it all scuffed up...for the price there is no way it can be beat..that jack is top quality. The handle is 55in long. It will be in my garage soon. thanks for the heads up guys on a jack.
