Well it's on sale, with the coupon code that's on the product page it's only $109.99.

On a stock Z, this jack can reach the front center jacking point from the front bumper with no drama. For the side, it'll fit under the lowest of Z's.

Low Profile Floor Jack - 2 Ton, Rapid Pump® Jack

Check it out!

I have this one. Works great. Love it. Want another one. It is heavy but well needed.

anyway, i love harbor freight as much as the next guy, in fact i have a shitton of their tools, but for a jack, i would much prefer something a bit more "quality". quality is subjective in this case, however, the reason i'd recommend the arcan is, not only is it cheaper (99+tax), every part is replaceable. the jack would literally last you a lifetime. goodluck repairing the harbor freight jack.

also...i understand the minimum height is 3.5 inches versus the harbor freight at 2.5 inch. solution? drive up on a 2x4 and your car is now 2 inches higher. as for the reach...the harbor freight one has a max depth of 39" it seems. the arcan at costco goes 47.75". quite a bit longer..but also much heavier!

I'm guessing this is one of those things where the photo on the product page isn't actually of the product. There's no way the jack pictured on the Amazon website has a 47.75" reach lol.

That's a pretty crazy reach, I gotta admit.

And yeah, I actually have a set of 3" Race Ramps that I use to make jacking even easier.

I just bought the 2.5 ton version of this jack at my local Harbor Freight on Monday and it was $84.99 on sale. No coupon needed. The reach is shorter but I just drive up on a pair of 2x4s and can reach the front center jack point.

Yeah the 2.5 and 3 ton don't go as low, unfortunately. They're both always a lot cheaper.

Actually the 2.5 ton is very close with a min height of 2 3/4", the reach is just shorter at 29". Not a big deal for me though.

trust me..its HUGE. probably 5 feet in total. damn heavy too!

Use the Costco jack and always use the rear diff. as a starting point to get the car on stands. I'm lowered on Swift springs. This one has served me quite well.

No joke.....I live in an apartment complex and walking the thing back and forth for friends so we can work on their cars is a pain in the @$$!!! I'm very happy with it though. My car is reasonably dropped and the jack is plenty of clearance for my needs. I think anyone much lower then me is probably excessively dropped. I scrape enough as is lol.

Zoren 370 · 04-14-2013, 10:39 AM

I just bought one today. Damn it almost popped my Nut Cracker

when I carried the damn thing into my trunk (not the Z) its about 105Lbs.
I hope its all worth it.
