Low profile jacks are godsends for lowered vehicles.. Here's the low profile jack I have for my lowered "06" GT.. 1.3" lowered front, 1.5" lowered rear..
I bought the same one a few years back but it's grey, but it works well. I have another 3 ton that's Craftsman but it's not rapid pump, nor low clearance, so it get's used not as much as it once did. Then I've accumulated 3 aluminum rapid pump 1.5 ton "racing" jacks off good sales, but that one is the only one works well under even stock GT.

Reason: spelling
The red one is the latest model, but the grey one you have is pretty much the same one. So far I've been very pleased with it and provides enough clearance underneath despite being lowered by 1.3" front and 1.5" rear.
I also have that grey version, and it works well for me too.
And if one needs to get that car WAAAYY up, consider the cross beam. I have one, totally worth it. Feels more stable when nascar jacking the car on one side to hop it up on the 6 tons for more clearance, although y'all should see a Mustang tilted 35 degrees, it's real cool lookin'.
/Scary every time. Bein' as safe as I can, trust me, but still... I really don't like jacking the car up anyway. A lift ain't in the works...yet... ever? I don't know, the future's hazy...
Thanks, I bought one from Canadian Tire might not be as low as yours,3.5" collapsed I believe. Thinking of getting one of the portable car hoists. That way oil changes and just getting under the car will be easier. Haven't seen one in use yet but through Costco or Canadian Tire they are a reasonable price, I can also keep her off the tires over winter as well.
The BendPak/MaxJax is what really got my attention. It's actually a fully portable 2 post, mid-rise lift vs the portable low-rise QuickJack scissor type. I may actually take a serious look at the MaxJax lift for myself
Well, Saturday told my sweetie we were going to Canadian Tire, Just did not tell her which one. Took the girl out for her first shake down, I have one rattle and a grown out of the steering when parked but other than that she performed like a champ and the Pony loved to be let out. I may have done to good of a job on getting my 16 year old sound out of the car and I wont be sneaking anywhere. neighbor thought I had fired up the boat and he is not wrong. anyways, bought the hoist. The girl is back at the body shop for some touch ups and when I get her back I will try the new hoist out for the oil change as I am sure I put enough on her to break everything
in.

Congrats on getting your QuickJack portable hoist. Now that I see all the components close up, it really looks like a very high-quality made product. If for some reason the BendPak/MaxJax portable lift won't fit well enough for my garage clearance height and width? then I'll most definitely be looking into the QuickJack
Congrats on getting you pony out and about. Glad to hear that she did good for you. I think I need a set of those jacks seem to be very well made and not flimsy at all. You will have to let us know how they perform.
Well, she is up and oil is draining out of her as we speak, rattle found, the alignment shop tack welded my exhaust, closed one side up and its hitting the floor pan. I will cut loosen adjust and weld. now to topic on hand. the hoist slid under with the small blocks in and no issues, adjusted the location plugged it in and up I went. from sliding them under to full up under 5 minutes. they are stable and its locked, plenty of clearance underneath. Now, the only con for what I have and everting is a compromise is I have to for fore and aft now under the middle of the car. pulling the trans could be done but now its a 2 person job. the good, portable, very quick with no hassles more height than with the stands and no jacking side to side front to rear. I am liking them right now.
Very impressed indeed! I'm still debating between the QuickJack and MaxJax portable 2-post mid-rise lift. Once again, congrats and also thanks for posting images
