I ended up getting this jack from Harbor Freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-l...ump-68051.html

Because the front jack point is back a bit, the raised part of the jack gets much too close to the front bumper for my liking. Especially if the car is lowered, I can't imagine this jack will work. Hrmmmm...maybe this one would have been a better option:

UPDATE: OK I exchanged my jack for this one: http://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-l...ump-68050.html

I can confirm that the new jack works great with no clearance issues whatsoever.
