Default How do you get it up?
Old floor jack is junky, and will no longer fit under the car after lowering. I'm working with ~4in of ground to frame rail clearance. Not interested in riding up on blocks or getting up ramps just to lift.

Anyone with knowledge of a good low profile, high lift +20in floor jack?

Omega Lift Equipment #29023 2 Ton Low Profile Jack


ATD-7325 is the same jack (usually cheaper) but not sold directly by the company.

Use your man hands and lift that ish! ...but seriously, if you have engine hoist, use that up top on a good mounting spot. Just enough to get the jack under
