I have one of these as well, I'm on my second. It seems these jacks made in China are more susceptible to having the seals blown out if you let them down too fast when supporting the car, so be sure to let them down ssssllllllloooooowwwwww

My second has lasted longer than the first following this rule.....

If you have lowered springs ( I have H&R's ) you'll need to drive it up on a couple pieces of 2 x 10 laid flat ( obviously ) first to get enough clearance to get the the jacking points.
I just bought this exact same jack at Harbor Freight. They have it on sale for $79.99 and I used one of the 20% off any one item coupons to get a net price of only $64. Haven't used it yet but it seems like it should do the job and the best thing it is MUCH lighter than the other two steel jacks I have.

Here is the harbor freight item. While it does not show on sale on the site, it is in their current store ad on sale and I picked it up just last Saturday.

This is the Harbor freight Jack you want:

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=40105

Why...because of the jack height.....3 inches is a huge difference....trust me...spend the extra $60 because if you want to place your ride on stands then you'll want the extra lift height....trust me on this one!!

Agreed on the max height. I like this jack! Just discovered a Harbor Freight retail store in my area so I may have to venture up there next week.

Thanks everyone for the input!
