The jack fully collapsed is 3.5” tall.

Thank you! That's taller than I expected.

The front and rear jacking points in the manual are quite deep and my standard low profile jack can't really reach them. Do you all have longer reach jacks for those points?

I know I can jack a corner/side from the pinch welds, but that's not as flexible.

This might be a silly question, but the problem I run into is that in order to slide my jack fully under the front jacking point, I have to pull the handle back quite far in order to not hit the front bumper and at that point, I don't really have much space to pump the handle.

If you're able to even get to the front jacking pad, and yes you will have to lay the jack handle flat, even though your jack handle has a very short amount of travel, can you get it to lift at all?
