time for me to buy a new jack. My old one is too big for my car so i have to drive up on blocks of wood, even though im only lowered an inch and a half. What are some decent low profile jacks, that's fairly light so i can stuff it in my car for track days?

Harbor freight 1.5 ton. I think they are $79 on sale. It will lift closer to 1 ton in reality but it's cheap and the pad sits like 2.25" off the ground. It clears the front jack point on my T/A by a few hairs.

Discontinued now I think, but I have three of these and they're great. Foot pump, super low profile.
