I just bought a 3 ton low profile steel jack from Harbor Freight for $80. Works very well so far. Lift height is pretty good, but it is heavy. Once you get on the garage floor it is easy to roll around. They do sell an aluminum jack rated for 3000 lbs (1.5 ton) for $80, but the lift height is lower.
Since our car weigh roughly 3500 lbs (1.8 ton), a jack rated for 2 tons or 3000 lbs is sufficient.
