No, This was the aluminum racing jack. The other one is a trolly jack I got on sale, which is now leaking fluid. I suggest you all return your cheap chinese jack and cough up an extra $30 and go to costco or sears.

I just got the Pittsburgh 3 ton heavy duty jack from Harbor Freight on sale for 79.99 last weekend. It's not the racing jack, but it just fits underneath the jack pad so I got the clearance. The lifting range starts at 5" so it just makes it. Plus I needed the 3 ton capacity because the wife's XC90 is a heavy one, real heavy.

Cool still on sale folks!
Edit: My car is stock so it's not lowered, if it was lowered this jack would NOT fit underneath.

Gotcha.....thanks. If I had a Costco anywhere nearby I would definitely go with theirs but the closest one is probably 400 miles away in Billings or the Twin Cities. Sears jacks don't sound much better than HF jacks these days judging by the reviews on their website. Plus on the one I bought and returned the handle wouldn't lay flat enough to reach the rear diff support. It's just hard to find a good jack these days for a decent price that isn't Chinese made.

I love TSC. Back when I was heavy into the fab world, TSC was my go-to for hardware. They sell everything by the pound, including grade 8. Best prices by lightyears.
