Item #61253 and 61282

Pretty confusing, especially when another forum member bought 68050 ( like the one you linked ) for its length but it was just 29 inches like the item numbers above.

Go in store and buy that same model regardless. It works great for getting the rear lifted between the two exhaust pipes and great lift for high jacking.

Most jacks are going to have issues with that unless you roll up on a couple of 2x10s first. It's much easier to use the pinch welds on the sides.

Thanks Chuck. I think someone got the jack to go under but had to use a plier or hand a few times to raise a little then slotted in the handle.

I am on my way to go buy this jack now. However I think they only have the more expensive aluminum one.

fwiw. Fast Intentions CBE has the pipes too close to the diff for this to work. When lifting mine I put a block of wood on the jack to prevent making contact with the pipes.
