I think the Arcan is at Costco B&M for $90. I don't need another jack but the "Aluminum Racing" jack I got from Harborfreight is a real piece of crap and not enjoyable to use--plan on getting the Arcan XL35 at Costco this xmas season as a present to myself.

$90, that is a good deal. How many tons does it lift and is it a low profile jack? I paid over $300 for my Omega low profile jack. Oh well I am happy with it. Now I have to convince myself it is worth the money...

I just got the Norco 71300A, SUV jack. The thing is BEAST. It has a lower profile than the 3 ton Sears floor jack it's replacing. If I have problems, I'd drive my G partially onto my ramps..

The jack itself is 3ft long and the handle is 4 ft long so getting the jack to the lift points will not be a problem.

I compared it to the Hein-Werner 3-ton floor jack and decided on the Norco because it has a limited lifetime guarantee.
