I jsut got an Arcan xlt2 jack, its on the large side but it will go from 2.75" to 24" with something like 15" of reach before it gets above 2.75". I havent used it much but from my initial experience it appears to be a very nice jack. But if you are looking for something that you need to carry around then this isnt it because its comes in just below 100#.

I got a "racing" low profile jack from Harbor Freight. It was $119 on sale for $89.

Works well.

That jack has the best reach, low profile and lift range of any jack I have found for the money. I actually found a coupon in a hotrod magazine for $99.99. Coupon is good till 2-9-2013 so if anyone is looking check out the news-stands.

I've had one like that for a long time - so far, so good. Light weight, low profile.

A mere 2 5/8 " low saddle height!!! You can't beat it but it is not in Aluminum to my knowledge.

I have this one too. Little awkward to carry in one hand, but not bad.

I bought two so I can lift the entire front or back end up at once to slip jack stands underneath. Makes for a quick way to get the car up in the air.
