Default Need Jack Recommendations

What floor jack would you guys recommend for the SC? I have a 2 ton jack but i have a hell of a hard time getting it all the way to the middle of the crossmember and raising the car. I need something longer I guess. So what do you guys use?

I have a hydraulic jack.....it makes life so much easier. Just get one that is at least as long as the stupid one the car comes with, and you should be ok.

Default jacking

just get a couple 2 foot long pieces of 2x4, put one by each front tire and drive up on them,,,this should give you enough clearance to get the jack under the car
