Default Low Level Jacks

Who does them? and @ What cost?

Its a pain in the arse jacking up 3dr, only had to do it this weekend for the 1st time and even then it was such a ball ache, so want a low level one so i dont have to do the whole wood blocks scenerio.

Cheers

Ryan

I'm sure the costco near me will have this in. Not going to be a cheap one to post though due to its weight, but I am willing to go and get one for you if you can arrange for it to be delivered or picked up

I have the machine mart one, and it reaches the roll bar/chassis mounts at front so I normally jack here, very light as well.
If you do get a machine mart one check ALL the nuts bolts are tight as a lot of mine came loose.

That certainly looks like it, the pads on the raisy bit are crap as they break up too easy though, I had to get one of these as my other 1 1/2TON jack was too high to get under first so I start and finish with this lower one.
Needs very few pumps compared with normal jack as well.
