This is the Harbor Freight jack I use: https://www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-...ump-56624.html There is no need for a low profile jack as this one will fit under the car frame with a jacking puck in between. If you are running shorter than stock diameter tires then it may not fit but you can just drive up on a short 2x6 to get clearance. I used to use the HF 1.5-ton jack which worked fine lifting the car but failed when I was changing a tire on my car trailer. That jack couldn't handle the combined weight of the trailer and car so twisted into a pretzel while I was trying to change the tire.

i went with the Arcan 2 Ton Extra Long Reach Low Profile Steel Floor Jack A20016 / XL2T
so far its worked with what i needed it for, but i have the quickjacks so use that way more. but needed to have 1 good jack for other things, so sold my others ones and got what i really could use.
