I have a similar =E2=80=9Chybrid=E2=80=9D aluminum/steel jack from =
costco.  I think it was about $100 for a 3 ton.  So far so good.

there are limited places support areas on many cars.

thanks,
Jeremiah

Harbor Freight has aluminum racing jack with low floor clearance.=20
I have the two-ton version and it works well.

One-and-a-half to 3-ton aluminum versions are available:

I'm sure you can spend more (or less) elsewhere but this item seems=20
pretty well made and a good value, to me.

YMMV,

Dave
