Default Good low profile jack

Can anyone recommend a decent cheap low profile jack? My current one needs at least 4.5in of clearance. I need one with less than half that. Thanks

Summit Racing. Price is $200 shipped. Most so-called "low-profile" jacks have saddle heights of about 3.5" or higher. This one has a minimum saddle of a mere 2.75".
