Aluminum Racing Jack If anyone is interested. I bought a new Aluminum Racing Jack at Costco today. 
It is the 2 Ton one that is really low. 
I think it is the same one that Ellis uses. $99.00 I thought it was a pretty good buy. 
Will be a bit easier to get the SS off the ground now that it is lowered.

yeah, I saw those the other day and would like one, but can't really justify it since I already have a floor jack and ramps. I have other things a little higher on my priority list ( welder

I bought one like that from Sears, about same price through tool club. But, I can't get it under the front at all, and the sides with the jacking pucs is also a no go. I have it lowered 1" and probably need to get or make ramps, as these are the lowest jacks I can find.

I need one of those.......my old jack "broke" in the raised position when we were putting my long tubes on. 
Plus it stopped fitting under 95% of my car after it got lowered.

I made some "stairs" that I drive up on. I just used three 1" thick boards about 18" long nailed together in such a way as to make "stairs". One under each wheel and then I can put any jack underneath it

A good idea, but i KNOW the Costco jack works under my ride cuz my buddy ran home to get his when mine busted We used it for everything after that and it slid under ppppperfect.
Besides, I am WAY too lazy to be building anything.

I can't fit my jack under my car any more, either. I have to use the scissor jack that came with the car to jack it up enough to get the floor jack under it.
