Well don't fret, now the sale is over, the listed prices will probably come back down to normal next week. :wink: :P

I need to buy a lower one. like 90mm lowered height or something. Those cheap ones (which are very good don't get me wrong) are 140mm lowered height which is still too low for my car...

You just need a couple of 2" x 6" bits of timber and cut a ramp on one end, you just roll the car up the ramps onto the timber so you can slip the normal jack under it. :wink:

You want a K-Mart one like mine.
It goes higher lift than my small one and comes down lower too.
Fits easy under the front tiebar mounts, even when the suspension is on the bump stops..

Yeah I saw one of those Craftsman USA ones in the US, the ones they use for NASCAR racing. it was like a blade it was so low and 3 pumps it's at it's highest. I was drooling over it $500 USD...

Didn't you once say everything takes about a week longer in the Alice?

Which is THE only Australin Town which IS closest to every Australian Beach.

BTW, did you get time to take that pic?

I have a SCA 2 tonne jack, it gets under my minis tie bar mounts fine (it's just off the bumps). i would have preferred the 2.5T model, its wider (so more stable) and it goes both lower and higher.

My long KMart one was around $60 I think.
Not sure what rating, I'll look tomorrow.
