Ordered my new jack, anyone use this one?

This is a low profile jack and it looks pretty good to me from the research I did. This better we worth the 250! HAHAHHA

Any of your guys use this with your lowered L's?

Don I had the craftsman one pumper jack and it broke on me after a year of use, if that. Sears wouldn't replace it cause its not a hand tool, but I argued that you have to use your hands to work it so its a hand tool. Didn't work to well so screw them.

I have this jack now that I kinda borrowed from my wahrehouse, but its junk and it only goes up about 10 inches its not a low profile so its a pain in the but.

One thing for sure is its a bad dude!

Drive up on four 2x10's cut about 2 1/2 feet in length slide regular jack under and lift -

cost about $12.00 and they'll cut them for you too at Home Depot - a lot cheaper than $249.00 ...

You should have found someone else to talk to about the jack. For some reason that person did not like you. They actually get commision off doing swap outs just like they sold it to you; so someone will be willing to do it for you.

I returned one of these because it wouldn't lift the rear axle. The handle was bowing while I put at least 100# force on it. Does this work for you? Also, it wouldn't fit under my airdam (1"drop).

Prothane makes several sizes for jacks and jack stands. Unfortunately, I don't see them on their Web site.

I had one and it wouldn't lift my truck off the ground, I returned it.
