what jack fits under the car?

ok so I'm a little bummed out now. I went down to Sears and bought the Craftsman all Aluminum 2 ton Race Jack to work on my rides and I must be cursed or something. Cause the thing does not jack up high enough for my 4Runner (2" suspension lift) and won't get under my G35 (stock height). I paid $220 for this thing and it's basically useless, looks damn fine tho. Anyone know what jack will fit under our car? Cause I'm tired of using ramps to get it off the ground.

I have the 17.5" high lift on my Christmas list from Harbor Freight. Anyone know if that has the same dimensions as the one linked above?

I Have the same exact jack G352NV posted. I love it. Great price and it's super light. I like the wide flat saddle, works perfect on the G.

EDIT: i just looked at that link again. Wow, $69.95? that's cheap, haha.. dammit, i bought the rapid pump one...

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=47246

looks the same though, just double the $$

That's the one I was talking about. It raises the car ~3" higher and it is rapid pump and it's just cool.

dragmode, is your car lowered?

I just picked up one of these at my local HF for $79.99 on sale, and added the $19.99 2yr replacement warranty. It's way cheaper online, so I went on there and bought it again for use at the track, as well as that rapid pump version for use in the garage. Gonna go return the one I bought from the store. $208 shipped for 2 badass jacks...not bad!

That's the one I got, it's crappy living in Hawaii, everything cost more here. I can't jack the front of the car from the center cross bar, it hits the underpan. Where do you lift from? The side? I was able to get the jack under the front side, just behind the front wheels and under a brace there but it only lifts one side at a time. I was looking to lift the whole front in one crack.
