| Your best bet would probably be some place like Mopac or Best Buy performance. |

Hi Blam,
I purchased my Micheline from Canadian Tire a few years back. I think I paid around $200.00 for it. You need to look for them but you can find them. I do not remember the exact specs on it however it has been more than sufficient to handle any of the vehicles I have needed to lift.

| I picked up a Motomaster heavy duty one on sale for $99.99, its not low profile though but its very sturdy for the price. It might still be on sale, I bought it last weekend. |

This tow truck driver came to lift my Z after it was crashed and he was going on about his kick ass little low profile jack that he'd bought from Crappy Tire like 8 years before. This jack had like 1 3/4" clearance and a curved lifting arm, just awesome. He had actually picked up 3 more of them when CT decided to discontinue them. He ended up paying $30 apiece for each of them on clearance.:mad:
I tried to convince him to sell me one, but he wouldn't part with them. He said he was keeping them for when the one he has finally kicks it, although after 8 years it was still doing pretty well. |

This is the same one I use when I moved out of my parents place - haven't had a problem since.
I was turned off the Michelin's when my neighbour got one. The first he had was low on fluid and wouldn't lift. The second one worked, but wouldn't lift his truck.... |

the michelin ones look about the same height as the one i currently have. my car is 6.5" off the ground, stock.
the jack i ave goes from 4" and climbs to 6.25" where the handle connects. unfortunatly my front jack point is the front crossmember....
can someone do me a big favour and measure their michelin one for me? as well at the Princess auto one.
thanks for the replies. |
