I need something to raise the car high enough to use the jack stands and because of the factory recommended jack points, a factory issued jack seemed like a good choice. I need one for each side. The local wrecking yard want's $15 for a jack, all I needed was a picture to verify the correct one.
I got a low-profile one (heavy as kufc) from Harbor Freight, it's been working great.
Only part that sucks about it is its 75-lb weight.
At a recent mod party:
The jack stands are not in the picture, but I got them from HF too, and so far they've worked great:

You really should just invest in a proper floor jack.

Lol, it took stuffing the trunk, the right rear seat, and the right front seat to fit all that in the Mustang. We were gonna try to install a bunch of suspension parts but didn't quite work out that day - too cold and windy

The last floor jack I bought blew a pump seal and dropped the car faster than you could move out of the way. I was in the process of getting the jack stands ready for insertion when the car dropped. Luckily, it landed on the tires and not me. No damage done.
It would be nice if you could jack these cars up like in the old days, rear end housing and "K" member, rather than the pinch welds.

Yeah, it's an old thread...
I think the distinguishing thing that determined whether you got a jack/spare/etc. or not was the size of your stock wheels, no? Bigger than 18" wheels = no spare IIRC, but I forget now, this was a concern to me too when I ordered my '13 about 18 months ago.
