I was searching for a low-profile floor jack that didn't have to be portable, and would prevent the old "drive onto the wooden blocks *then* use the floor jack. I found this jack to be low enough to get under tight spots for a lowered car.
I didn't get a lot of super-descriptive information about any of them, and many links were out of date.
Many folks have recommended things like the sears aluminum racing jack, but I found the sides go up too quickly to really give me the clearance I needed.
So - in case you were shopping for one I thought I would throw out a few pictures of the American Forge and Foundry 200T Low-Profile floor jack.
So far - I find it to work very well, and since I was after the clearance, it has worked wonders. Even my portable jack doesn't give me as good of clearance since the sides taper up too steeply.

The only thing I would like to be able to change is to put on a smaller cup.

I see they sell for over 200 bucks. I'll use a block to wood to get the car up if necessary.

Nice, how HIGH does it go?

how high do you want to get?

Post edited since *ahem* I managed to forget a small measurement named "height". Thanks for setting me straight on that

I didn't know you could measure "high"

Stratplayer - Next I'll be reviewing some blocks of wood.

Seriously - I'm not putting forth any recommendations - but thought it would be some good info for anybody in the market. I didn't have a decent floor jack (just a $29 trunk monkey buddy that came dangerously close to denting the skirts) so, I am happy with this one so far. YMMV.

I was looking at those awhile back. They seemed to be pretty well made.

thanks lee. i am currently in the market for a jack. i was real excited when i brought home my $60 craftsman 3 ton jack a couple of weeks ago, only to find that it wouldn't fit under my car.

the 2 1/2 ton craftsman i had fit just fine, but the new one sits a 1/2 higher. I thought about putting the 4 wheels on wood, but i am all about convenience.

You can always borrow it to see if you like it. Bring a back brace for heavy lifting !
