I ended up buying A Torin Aluminum Jack from Pepboys for $99 bucks. It's a two stage jack thats prettry low and can lift up to 2 1/2 tons. It's jack height are minimum 4 inches to 18 1/2 inches. It looks almost exactly like the Harbor Freight Jack #3 in the link you attached...the only difference is, instead of the polyurethane wheels, it uses steel wheels instead. It's pretty light and is easy to move around. The thing I like the most is, it weighs less than 1/2 of what the heavy Costco jack does!! If you plan on carrying your floor jack in the trunk of your car for drift events & working on a buddy's car, unless you want a hernia, I strongly recommend the Torin jack....it's lighter to lift!!! I've attached a photo so you can see what it looks like.
Anyhow, hope this helps...

If you use the jack as many time as we do, you'll know what heavy duty means.
We have borken 2 of those aluminum jack already, they are not heavy duty at all just lightweight and easy to carry.
Also the aluminum has this knob that thread the handle to the jack itself, on the cheap ones they hit the back of the car when you try to jack the rear diff(really bad design).
I like thread like this that actually give useful info instead of cry babies asking for free handout(spoon feed).
There should be more thread like this, including ones like what tools to buy that's useful etc...
Cheers,
Sam
