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.

Can it reach front cross member to raise front of car?

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.

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.

I just bought the 2t low pro racing jack last week from HF and love it so far. It has a rubber pad on the lift point already and it takes four pumps to get it high enough to take a wheel off. I paid $159 for it. I had a coupon for 20% off any item but when I cashed out i found out it doesn't apply for jacks, compressors, or anything over $100. I was pissed! But I got it anyway because I needed it and it was lower than any other jack for that price. I still used wood to get to the front cross member but the rear is fine, and so are the sides.

Please do not buy the cheapest hyd jack (or stands) you can find. In my book, that's right up there with buying the cheapest parachute. Hyd jacks are pretty reliable but the consequences of failure can be lethal. Spend the few extra bucks to get a good one.

It's all on hangers....there is some allowable flex to it. As i have the same setup with ark.

Major fail already, Had the car raised and then took the trolly jack hand off, now I cannot access to put the handle back on. When I took the handle off the trolly jack handle connector when into the vertical position FML.

turn the handle gently using both hands when you want to lower it.

or twist it real quick for Race Car
