The HF aluminum jacks kinda sketch me out. I prefer the big orange steel one, which is what I have. ---

> [@so dudes..](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-dudes/35766/30): > > i think he means the yellow nos signs next to the dog No, the dog itself is blurry. I would expect the other items as I’m sure the dog was the center of focus and the depth of field was short… but even the dog itself is completely out of focus. the edges have absolutely no definition to them. the only thing even remotely close to in focus is the very tip of the nose. ---

I personally rock the Pep Boys “big red” Turin or w/e the fuck, mini floor jack that came with 2-ton jack stands and a creeper for like 40 bucks. I can’t fit the Craftsman floor jacks under my subframe. I know Crazyz250 had the same issue and uses the pep boys jack as well. If the shoe fits [/pjb] ---

my car and many others’ are muchhh lower than yours. If you cant get an HF aluminum under it, then no other jack will fit either. Drive up onto some 2x4s and it will fit. ---

It doesnt. I tried when I got there. It slides underneathe it at first but then the jack holder “platform” itself cant wiggle around enough to get to the “sweet spot”. I am talking about the plastic one from HF not the aluminum ones everyone else is talking about. ---

HOnestly… if you get a cheap one like the one you were looking at it will always be cheap. It will bend within a few uses and then you are out buying another one. Spend a couple extra bucks and get even the HF aluminum one. Its safer and will outlast many of the cheap plastic ones.
