Just wondering what my fellow GS brothers are using to lift up these heavy babies?

Post pics, cost, warranty and where you got em!!

Had this one for a long time... no problems.. can't remember cost.


Bought this one because it looks cool and it's weight.... This one SUCKS DO NOT BUY IT!!! It will start leaking after the first couple uses... and after your 1-year warranty is up Sears will tell you to take a walk!!!


Anyone know where to get a GOOD low profile aluminum with good lifting capacities?

My guess would be to try Pepboys and or Sears... They both have the low profile jacks.. I need to buy one to.. I have a regular 3 Ton like the first pic.. I need a LP jack to change out the Steering rack bushings.. I would try both those places.. GL..

Matco makes a pretty decent low profile jack with one of the lowest lift arms out there. 2.5" height. Bad thing is its only a 1.5 ton, it'll be enough to pop the front & back up though. Runs close to 300 bucks.

Harbour Freight tools is hands down the best places to get jacks..

I bought mine somewhere online (I forgot) for about $180 shipped. It was a hell of a deal considering how much this thing weigh. Usually you'll find this jack for $250+shipping.

If you want to be baller, get yourself some AC Hydraulic jacks. They have the DK13LQ model that's able to reach the cross-member of our cars, especially those who are lowered. No need to drive on blocks unless your car is less than 3" off the ground.
