jack and jack stands

I am going to do DIY for sway and spring

I was thinking about getting this jack combo

http://shop.oreillyauto.com/ProductD...egoryCode=3397

or powerbuilt jack ($30) and jack stand ($30)

Anyone recommend any jack combos less than $100?

Thanks

I've seen this setup at pepboys for $30. Its ok. I dont care for the tall height of the saddle on the jack. But for the price, you really cant go wrong.

^its not a big deal, its just inconvenient. If you car is lowered, you'll have to use ramps or something.

a little more than $100, but a decent jack for the price.

K thanks, my car is not lowered yet, but will be soon. I will use factory jack to take out the aftermarket jack after I lower it. Thanks anyway.
