I have a Craftsman low profile aluminum jack and it fits just fine under the car at stock height with jacking pucks in place.

Quick jack question
Hey guys,
If I pick up a low profile jack, do I still need to drive up on boards to get the jack under the puck, or will the jack slip under the pucks without the boards? My vette is stock height and wheels.
Thanks,
Les

Car is lowered and Craftsman aluminum race jack is a PITA.

It's been discussed in depth here.
What really separate this one from the pack, besides its extremely low profile, is its length. It allows you to reach the front and rear crossmembers from the front and rear end of the car respectively, in order to raise the whole axle.

I've got several jacks, including a Sears aluminum racing one. Works great from the side, but can't get to the cradles w/o driving up on wood. Figure this will work better. Your results may vary.
