Floor Jack
What type/brand/model of floor jack is suitable for use? I have a floor jack that is fine for my TrailBlazer, but absolutely will not fit under the C5. Thanks in advance.

Craftsman's low profile aluminum racing jack from Sears. 1 1/2 ton. $120. I believe it rests at either 3'' or 3.25''. You can always find sales at walmart for floor jacks and I know that certain stores have aluminum racing jacks for under $100. I prefer to stick to a nice name brand like craftman though

I love that Craftsman alum floor jack. My other jack would no longer fit under the car after I lowered it...

I have the Craftsman aluminum racing jack and it works well. About a 3.5" minimum height, so it will go under the back and the sides no problem. Can't get it under the front, but I use a sissors jack to lift the car a bit then use the Craftsman to finish the job.

Not quite sure, but the sale doesn't start until Saturday. The mailer mailed to me was within my region, but it also mentions the craftsman.com website. I would think this would make it national, but who knows. Give them a call again tomorrow and see.
