    how low are the low profile ben? looking for a low profile as well.

    so far i only seen one tat fit, others cant really speeze in 10cm or lower cars easily.

    boot jack seem alright to me. been changing my wheels every too often, and everytime is a x4 as one by one. been almost 2 years, and every 2 weeks or so.

    if u are serious and want a revalveable jack that should last for life ~ spend a decent amount of $$$
    I got a alloy "race" jack , weights about 12kg and is rate at 1000kg. Its very low profile , about 7cm at its "lift"point. Cost about $280 and ive been using it heaps over the last year or so. You can get em at most decent race shops here in Sydney - NFI where in melbourne.

    arr i see. thanks for tat ben will keep a lookout, too bad aint all/most stores hav them here, hav been searching.

    tho the standard jack has been doing it job ever since..im also well aware of its safetiness and very cautious for every jack ups (as most things will fail eventually) as long as u do it right, sits it tight, jack it up nice and slow, all should b well. but hell...hands are getting sore..time for a new jack

    STTICH - have you tried repco? I know that if they dont have one they can order one in.

    On jacking the car up - while I have never jacked my car up using this method, I have heard of people laying down some timber, driving the car onto it providing the extra height needed to get a jack under it.
    See a good post? Give it a PQ point.
