Just picked up a 3.5 ton low profile jack today to help out with some work that needs to get done...I think I'm going to have to be on Santa's NICE list this year to get the jack that I really need.

Hi m,
Yes, it appears to have been made well. I feel safe working under it.
It's made in 2 different capacities and 2 (?) different lengths. Santa brought me the shorter one with the higher capacity.
The only thing that I needed to get used to the first time I used it was that the car moves forward as it raises.
The difference in the jacks affects the price so you need to be sure what the specs are when comparing prices.
Santa bought mine from Summit because there was free shipping.
Regards,
Alan

If you are limited on space and overhead clearance, its a viable option.. but if you have room and funds, get a TWO-POST LIFT!! you will love standing up to work on your car instead of lying on your back ... just my opinion..

That's a great question. Have not tried one but as you can see from pictures they can sit under the car so if you can slide them past the side pipes it may be ok.
My Vette is too low to drive over them but that may be an option on a side pipe car as it is exhaust that would hit.
I think you only need 3.5" clearance if I recall correctly.
Have a friend with a side piped 69 so I may be able to check it out some time.

By the time they get to Australia the cost is similar to a 2 post.
However can't say I have any complaints.
PS: I did consider a 2 post and locking it for max height but the lift poles on each side would have been a pain in my garage. I can imagine my wife would have not liked the space they would have taken up -
