need a jack... any suggestion?

[trymonlam]

hi,
i recenlt bought a 99' c280. however, it's got lowered front end from the last owner and it's got a reiger body kit. the stock one won't work because of the body kit. so... i need a jack that can reach in low and do the job. any suggestions about what and where to get? much thanks.

For home use get a low profile 2 1/4 ton floor jack and for the road carry a standard scissor jack.

They can be found at your local auto store.

check out sam's club and costco, they got some good jacks, like the arcan xl35 at costco, I got this one, its 3 ton capacity and is only 3.5in high.
