 F body friendly floor jack? What do you have and how do you like it? My hand me down floor jack took a dump. The wifey looked at a Craftsman low profile at Sears. I checked out the customer ratings and they were all pretty low.

Had one of those, it lasted 3 years. Not bad for $150. I picked up a similar style Craftsman jack a few weeks back on sale for $130. Both slide under the (stock height) hawk without a problem. I had to lift the front a little to get it under when I had it on Sportlines.

Re: F body friendly floor jack? American Forge&Foundry jack. Its like 2-1/8" saddle height and when you use it you can truely feel the quality.
I have used a lot of jacks but this one is BY FAR the best one I have ever used. Its not cheap but if you use it a lot its well worth the investment.
