- Two options: - Buy a better 2 ton jack. The lift range for the $20-30 ones is about 14 inches. A $50-100 one lift higher. - put a 2x10 under the length of the jack. I have a low car, so I have to jac

- And there are lifts other than the two post/four post lifts that we think of first - check out http://www.rotary-lift.com/index.html for some ideas. I expect to buy a VersaLift in the next year.

- Best bet is to get a new jack. Harbor Freight has a nice one for about $50 dollars and they ship it for free. It weighs about 70 lbs but the handle comes off for storage. It will lift the car about 2
