Recommendations on a low profile floor jack?

Anyone want to offer up a recommendation on a low profile floor jack? I have a decent craftsman 3 ton that unfortunately no longer fits under the car now that it's been dropped.

KISS in action

With my s2000 I used 4 pieces of scrap 2x6 and decent aim. No worries, and kept my shop Harbor Freight jack happy.

Interesting....according to the specs it sits as high as my craftsman jack. Either way, I ordered a set of race ramps to use, and when I need to take the tires off, a 2x4 along with my floor jack will work. Thanks for all the suggestions though.

I've been very happy with this low profile Sears jack...it's made of aluminum so it's easy to maneuver around the garage as well. I've been able to use it on my lowered cars and it still has enough jack height to lift my Tahoe.

I have a low profile Craftsman (not currently listed on Sears' site) and although the jack fits under the car and reaches the jack points, the handle hits before I can get a good pump.
From the side, maybe, but you can't use the floor jack on the sides without potential damage to the jack points.
From the front or back, reaching in to the garage jack points, my Craftsman doesn't do the job.
The long chassis jack will do it, but $500???
I don't think so.
