Lowered height is only 5-3/4". I think I might pick one up since I’ve rented one several times already. Never hurts to have an extra jack around. ---

doesn’t seem too bad of price. mine wasn’t much more than that though. at regular cost. but for as many times you will use it that should be fine. ---

I think they have one even cheaper than that. I got mine from them and i thought it was $99 for a 800lbs. You will probley never have that need for one that heavy duty. ---

I liked this one because it was so low, not necessarily the lifting capacity. I know the transmission’s not that heavy since I can lift it into the trunk of the car by myself, but I’d rather not take a chance damaging it if it falls off of a jack with a piece of wood. And the adjustability is nice when the dowel pins are being stubborn lining up. And I like buying tools. 🙂 ---

They are the way to go. I bought one last year when I was trying out different converters last year. Trans was out and back in every weekend for 5 weeks. ---
