TireRack Aluminum Service Jack or Alternatives
 
Can anyone confirm whether this will fit under the car to reach the central jack points at the front and rear?

How about with a lip?

How about with a lip and lowered 1"?

I have a Series.Blue and I'll eventually drop it 1". I could always drive it up on some wood blocks first, but curious if this will fit under the car without needing to do so (probably not?) Does anyone know of a GOOD QUALITY low-profile hack that WOULD fit at that point? It would be nice to eliminate that step.

ALSO, the jack needs to be able to lift pretty high. I have ESCO jack stands, and my friend's Sears jack couldn't quite get my car high enough to fit the stands under. We had to put a sheet of plywood under the jack, and a hockey puck on the jack pad, and THEN the stands fit at their fully lowered height with 6 molecules to spare.

I got a Harbor Freight long reach / low height floor jack.
Lifts up to 24" and can reach both the front cross member and the rear diff jack ponts.

I have the same one. Sadly the 20% off coupon doesn't apply to jacks, but I watched and waited and got it during one of their ridiculous sales where they had knocked the price down $80.

Don't own this, but this has been used on my car. Lowered 2 inches all the way around, and it was a tight fit, but it worked.

the harbor freight jacks are pretty good. I also use these ramps to help make it easier
