Harbor freight floor jack?
I'm looking at this floor jack as its pretty cheap and meets all of my requirements with the exception of being low. It looks to be steel but the picture also looks kinda cheesy. Anybody use one of these?
I have a '00 WS6 and this looks like it will be long enough to get to the crossmember from the front of the car. Plus it has a foot pedal, not always room to pump a 4ft arm!
Any thoughts?

I worked at a tire/mechanic shop when I was younger, we used those same jacks everyday when big duallys came in. the lifts at the shop were not long enough for the rear of the truck . lifted the front with the lift and used the jack in the rear to change the tires out . they are low profile , if you need real lowpro get one of those aluminum jobs harbor frieghts got them too.
ps / the foot pedels the ****

I don't have that exact model, but I do have their standard 2 1/4 ton and it has stood up very well for the last 4 years. Even though they are cheap chinese jacks, the quality seems to be pretty good. I would definitely buy another.

we've been using one just like that, it's an deffinate over kill, we also have the racing jack from there, it works great, 60 bucks, a lot smaller than the other jack, but it's easier to roll around the shop and has always worked for what we use it for
