Well my car has a body kit on it and I'm considering lowering it with the body kit which means I'll be having hell with the jack I have right now. Is there any jack that i could slide under and not have 2 much of the pumping motion (considering I wont have much room to go up and down with a handle)?

I have the new Craftsman alum low profile jack works great!
For my stock height.
Did however run into a problem after I installed my intercoolers and piping down low. Now no room to pump the jack. So to solve this I made 2 small ramps out of 2x12,s, each about 3' long with another section about a 1' long screwed ontop. Now just drive up on them, and there is plenty of room for the jack and the pump stroke.

Or just put down a couple 2x10s to drive up on.

You can go down to AutoZone and get a set of Rhino Ramps and use it in combination with any jack. I use their 12000 GVW Rhino Ramps. I had the 8000 and my tires where too big, caused too many sliding issues.

I do not think that there is any jack low enough to get under the car if it is lowered with ground effects. I drive onto a 2x4, then a 4x4 then a railroad tie. If that is still not high enough then i start to jack it up and use jack stands. But then again I cannot get my toe under the front clip with shoes on.

Matco LOJACK. End of story. Get some 2x6" boards to drive up on. that will help as well.

By the way what kind of body kit is it and how low are you planning to go?

I have the sports appearance package and the pro kit and i have the craftsman low profile jack and i still have to drive onto 2X4's then 4X4's. Then the jack is able to get under it. (Just driving it with 2X4's will work okay). You also cannot drive onto rhino ramps.

Try AC hydraulics jacks... I have one and it works great. I'm lowed and with SLP subframe connectors and I can get the jack on the subframe connector with no problem.

Here's a pic of my car to give you an idea of how low I'm talking about...

I'm not sure which I'd choose between the Matco and this one, but this one from personal experience is nice.
