A friend of mine has the Arcan low profile jack that he got at Costco but when I went there they did not have it. I seen his and it looks like the real deal. I was thinking about settling with a type that Harbor Freight has but I'll wait it out some more until I see a deal on the Arcan one.

I believe this is the one he has:

^Yep I have that one and the newer red one.

I got both from Costco. The blue one is aluminum and weighs about 60lbs with 3 tons power while the red one is 100 lbs (steel) but can lift 3.5 tons. They are both fairly low profile and very maneuverable. For 95 bucks each, they are both GREAT deals. I don't know if they still carry the blue one but every time my costco gets the red one, they would sell out quickly, but they would get more. However they don't offer it on there website. (My guess is that shipping would be "crazy")

I would recommend them if there is a costco around you.

^^ I have a low profile jack too... but notice the length is the usual short jack. The pic I posted and what Jeff has is low and long. So you can push it far underneath the car. These are pretty useless to me. I'd rather get a normal jack with good lift height and drive my car over 2x12 (as suggested by member w/caution on how to do so BIG MACK).

I'll probably sticky a rubber mat under the wood or something to prevent it from flying out from under the wheel when u step on the gas.

Look to see if you have a harbor freight around your area. If you do they have low profile jacks that are fairly cheap.
