^^go get urself a road&track magazine and look in the back for a harborfreight coupon...

i remember i just got a aluminum jack for ~$60 from harbor freight after the 2nd big red torin jack from pepboys started leakin, even after new hydraulic fluid... must be from all the dust and sand around the garage floor killing the piston seals.

can't beat that if u need a back up jack...

those coupons are everywhere!

But really, you want a jack with a 2" minimum height.
Per MM's recommendation i bought the 2 7/8" profile jack from Harbor Freight and it's absolutely awesome. $79 plus a 20% off coupon. Best $63 I've ever spent. Seriously, it's that good.
