Sorry for all the questions. I just want to make sure I am getting this right.
The jack point is pretty far back...most jacks won't be able to reach it. Initially I tried a little craftsman trolley jack which had no shot. Then I tried this jack from Harbor Freight, but it did NOT really clear the front lip: http://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-l...ump-68051.html

Here's the part of the jack that got super close and basically touched the lip, and this is a fairly low profile jack:



I exchanged that jack with this one and it clears the lip and it goes back far enough to reach the jack point with no issues:

The only issue is that it's a heavy monster, but it works!
