UPDATED: Any recommendations for a $100-200 pneumatic jack for use in a home garage. I drive onto ramps to get the 2011 Vet enough off the ground, then wish to lift the vehicle to remove tires, do brakes etc. There appears to be many online, but surely there are some recommendations. Wish to use my air compressor to raise the jack - rather than pumping it by hand. Age thing.
*Thx for recommendations thus far.

Reason: To clarify type of jack.
Harbor freight has a low profile jack. You still need the front tires 3-4” off the ground to get under the k member. It’s under $100. I’ve had mine for 4 years and no issue.
Yep, low profile jack so you can get under the front bumper with beam suport so you can jack the front end of the car up off the cross frame.
I have a 10 ton jack that I use both for the vet and the truck, but since it such a high profile jack, have to put the front end up on ramps first, so I can get the jack under the front end with cross support isntead.
Also, you can use 2x6's for your cross suports to lift at the cradles, but will need to different lengths to span the cradles correctly the back and the front instead.
From here, install the jacking pucks on the cars tire down transport areas, then get the car on stands for additional suport before you get under the car.

Try the Quick jack,pricey but worth it if you intend to keep the car for awhile.
