?
Does anyone have or have used this jack before? It looks like a great deal at $99, and since I dont already have one I was going to grab it. My question is, will this fit under a lowered Delorean? Mine isnt yet, but thats something I want to do in the near future using one of the common kits. Thoughts?

Have not used that jack before. Looks like a good deal.

A D that's on an Eibach set of springs with the rears set so that front and rear crossmembers are at same ride height will be at about 5.0in. clearance at the crossmembers and at the body jacking points, give or take. With all of the tires inflated, that is....

The spec for this jack shows it will lift from 4.0in. so it should be OK even if you go lower than this example. And if you don't have a flat.

The whole jack will not clear 5.0in. as you can easily see, but that's normal for these and should not pose any problem.

That is almost EXACTLY the same jack that Harbor Freight sells. See http://www.harborfreight.com/rapid-pump-15-ton-compact-aluminum-racing-jack-68053-html-7814.html

I have had no problems with mine, surprisingly. Fits under my lowered suspension no problem and raises the car quickly with no leaks.

Edit: They also have a 2 ton and others, http://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-aluminum-racing-floor-jack-with-rapidpump-68051.html

Guarantee they are all made by the same mfr in China or wherever. No issues though.

I have the HBF one. Love it!

I saw the OP's picture and also thought "that looks identical to my Harbor Freight jack". Which I as well can vouch for. Use a HF coupon off the internet and save even more. I've had my jack for I think almost 7 years, and I plan on using it for 7 more. It's probably one of the best value pieces of equipment HF sells.
