    I had that jack. for 2 hours. takes forever to lift the car.
    there used to be a sick one at Costco its low and she raises cars without much effort
    and its a quick lift.

    i cant get any jacks under my car with the skirts so i would just drive onto some 2x4s or whatever is around and it works great, i also find the factory widow maker jack really fussy and wierd, so the wood works great, then just throw the low jack under and let her rip!

    The arm part comes off and splits in half, and since its not very tall (actually slimmer than my old regular size jack) its not so hard to store.

    I bought my jack and princess auto and I think it goes pretty low. I think it was around $100 on sale. If you have side skirts on can you still get at the pinch rails? if not there are some OEM mounts that mount in behind in one of the plugged holes that I have heard work really well.

    Yeah but I got it on sale IIRC.

    Someone told me Costco had a similar jack for a while for less $, not sure if it was as good as the Michelin though.

    Princess Auto had a nice jack for a while but it wasn't very slim. But at least it lifted high enough to comfortably get some jack stands under there. I find most jacks aren't tall enough.

    i have a 2x8 ramp that goes up two level to allow the jack to get under it. Has detachable lower level to allow access to the side factory jacking point and is a breeze to use.

    Widow makers are for suicidal maniacs

    That's a simple way to do it.
