  • LOw profile jack

    Does anyone know where I might find a good low profile jack? Looked at princess auto however they have nothing in stock. Anywhere else I should look?

    Thanks in advance!

              I got that one when it was 40% off. Pretty well identical to the princess auto one I had.

                        dude just buy some low profile drive on ramps and use a normal jack. Thats what I did with my 240sx and the frame was 3" off the ground. Even with the low jack I still needed to raise my car 1" at least to get the jack underneith

                            na, you just drive up onto them. I have to use 2x4's just to get the posts under my car at work on the hoist. Its the same concept
