Just used my Napa Furious jack and it really works well. Very low profile and easily slips in the back with the front up on ramps. It was about $230.

Got one from Jack's Tool shed $135.00 included shipping. Low profile.
Low = 2 3/4" High = 19"....No ramps/boards needed, slides right under the hockey pucks.
