That summit jack looks the best for clearance, its low profile a ways back towards the handle, harbor freight looks decent too. That jegs one looks kinda cheap and isnt very low profile.
How would these work for reaching the middle of the front k-member thats where i usually jack up, so the lower the profile the further back the better.

After having the dilema of getting a jack under a lowered car i bought a 8 foot 2x10 and cut it into pieces and made very small ramps (to drive up on to) that get the car off the ground a couple inches so that a regular jack fits under there just fine, cheap and works great if you already have a good jack

Nice find! Would there be a possibilty of you measuring the center of the lift pad back to the beginning of the raised area of the back of the jack?

Good choice for low jack-up Recently, I made order Arcan XL35 (#144236) 3-1/2 ton and can liftup ~20" & 1 yr warranty thru NorthernTool.com. It costs me 149.99 plus s/h $59 to my "business garage"= ~ $227.
I had been researched on floor jack thru few forums/consumer reports/others. I hope so, I made choose the best jack lif-up>> Arcan XL35.

I have an older sears jack that is phenomenal, 48in from the handle to the lift point. Never had an issue with it, it was my grandpas before he passed and hes had it FOREVER. Only jack Ive ever use that you can pick up the car by the pumpkin from the back with the handle still straight up. My neighbor just bought a newer sears jack and it gave out lifting his nova, guess they used to be good but not so much now?
Thinking about getting a new lower profile one for quick stuff around the garage though, my current one is, well, slightly large, haha.
