Hi,

I currently have a Husky 2 1/2 Ton Low Profile Jack. Purchased it at Home Depot awhile back.

I am looking to use the Jack on oil changes, tire rotation, etc.

I haven't tried using the Husky jack on my G37 yet as I was experiencing w/ Rhino ramp. After running over the ramp w/ dad car (not sure if wet tire had to do w/ it ), I feel a little worried using the ramp on my G37. i'd used the ramp on G37 about 2-3 times prior.

this past weekend i was helping sis on changing the starter on her 04 corolla & man, the husky jack was weak. thinking how am i suppose to use the jack on my G37.

im looking at jack from harbor freight & can you tell me if there is a difference between the Husky & the Harbor Freight? of course besides the 2 1/2 vs 3 ton but dunno if it is a major difference.

Car is Stock: Husky is low profile & harbor freight is regular..btw will non low profile jack work on stock G37?

sorry for long post & thanks in advance.

 

Get the harbor freight 3 ton low profile.looks similar to the one u posted but low profile.I drive with mine in my trunk....its a beast .that and four jack stands I got from harbor .great stuff

 

Yep, that's the one to get, had mine for a while now and works great and I can get to my rear diff w/ my lowered G no problem. Should be able to find it for around $80 bucks w/ coupons floating around.

I have this one which has an even longer nose and lower profile version of it.

Low Profile Floor Jack - 2 Ton, Rapid Pump® Jack

It's heavy and it's a beast. If you're not real low you can slide it to the front sub frame and jack up both sides at the same time. Which is what I liked about it because on our cars the front jacking point is far in.

 

You can try costco for the arcan xl35r jack, item # 300930 . It seems to be a seasonal item, around here only one store had it when I was shopping for it.

Looks like they carry this one now:

bought the 3 ton low profile jack at harbor freight for $83.33. $90 out the door

have coupon code til 7/31 if someone needs it.

 

Pretty good deal. I paid bout $120 for my Arcan XL325 at costco.

I changed a starter out on a neighbors corolla the other week and didn't need to jack it up at all. There was plenty of room underneath it

 

Getting ready to do oil change w new jack but concerned

My car is stock w 17' wheels. Is the red circle pic the jacking point for front?

I took pic from side of car from driver side. How does one use the jack from front of car? Seems pretty low even w low profile jack. 3rd pic don't count, as it was park on a slope so it may looks like more clearance there. believe everything is intact w front lining.... Hmmm

 

See post # 9

For the rear you jack under the differential.

 

I've had this one for years. I paid significantly less than the $199 on the page. lol

3 Ton Aluminum Racing Floor Jack with RapidPump®

Love it.

 

are there any special maintenance for the jacks for longevity? grease, lube, oil & such??

 

Be sure to bleed them properly

 

Whichever you choose ALWAYS use jack stands as backup, your loved ones will thank you for that. Work safe and stay safe

 

no doubt!! thanks for reminder


i'm actually planning to use 2 jacks stand (front driver & passenger pinch weld) & the pittsburg jack recently purchased (passenger side along w/ jack stand).


i really need to change my oil... i normally change it at 5k miles & it is at 5800..lol

car too low I cant get the jack under the front so I have to use the points on the sides which are all kinds of messed up now especially when I use the jack stands
