I agree with the above, Harbor Freight has a great selection of low profile jacks at great prices.

I have the smaller al $60 HF to take to track days. Works great out in the field. I am going to get the steel one for like $129 next time I am there to keep in garage for maintenance work. Both go under car with pucks installed without using boards.

Have this one coming tomorrow. It's got a 2 5/8" profile when dropped down. It's one of the lowest I was able to find

Just bought the $129 hf low profile. 2 1/2" clearance. Long reach. Seems like a well spent 129

I have had this one for years - works great on the C5 - but pretty pricy (does have a lifetime warranty though).
