Recommend me a low pro jack

[S14DB]

I have a low pro jack. While I can clear the core support to get it to the front cross-member. I can't pump the lever more than an inch without it hitting the bumper.

If I can't drive/push the car onto the ramps. I jack one side up and put the mini ramp under the wheel. then repeat on the other side. Then I have enough room to jack up the car from the cross-member.

Seriously... real men have intercoolers and aero, so you can't lift from the crossmember.

I used the Kragen low pro jack for years, then it failed out of warranty... I will eventually rebuild it, in the meantime I use an Autozone lightweight aluminum jack. I'm all about Cosco's lifetime warranty though...

Craftsman Low Profile jack, got it on sale like 2 yeras ago. Only bitch is that you gotta bleed it/refill it once a year. No drift issues, still in great shape. I throw it all over the place, it keeps loving me back. We got a US General one for the service truck from HF...it works pretty good, but drifts more than I like it. But who cares if you have stands.

It kicks ass. It's Slammed VW approved as well.

Put it right under the middle of the car (on the side). Jacks the entire side up at once. Bam, 2 jackstands on the dirver side.

Repeat for the passenger side.

I wouldn't lift ANY car from the front rad support. Half of them are all rusted to shit and fucked up anyway

Note that he said CROSSMEMBER not Rad support. Where the engine and LCA's bolt to. It's a hard point to jack from in the FSM.

Also, he was quoting me where I said my jack cleared the rad support to get to the cross-member. The problem with most jacks is not the shoe getting under the cross-member but the pivot box being to high and hitting the rad support or the bumper.
