It is called a racing jack...made for lowered cars.

With the help of Blackjack and IP37, I got the harbor freight Aluminum racing jack.

I was doing that on my previous cars and finally got tired. For $79.99, the harbor freight racing jack is a very nice tool to have...and it looks "cool" too, lol

If you take a look at the thread I inserted, Blackjack took a pic on how convenient it is for a lowered car

I have the same issue with my BC's. I usually use the crappy factory jack and bring it up just a bit then put my floor jack under it and raise the rest of the way.
