Arrow Michelin Aluminum racing Jack

I just got this as a gift for XMAS. Now I can raise my lowered cars without using 2x4's !!!



- Hydraulic Speedy Lift is a patented design - the fastest way to reach car chassis
- 3¾" low-profile design can be raised to 18½" maximum height
- Saddle pad helps prevent damage to vehicle during lifting
- Unique design combines aesthetics and strength in the overall jack design
- Storage tray is ideal for keeping track of small parts or hardware
- Wider jack stance increases overall stability
- Universal joint ensures smooth release and secure valve operation from any pumping angle

REG price is $299 + tax

Was on sale for $179 + tax at Canadian Tire

I was actually gonna buy one of these "Low rider" jacks....
Not too many companies out there that make "low rider" jacks.

I wanted to get this one for slammed cars.. but the one I got is good enough, I think....

i always had my eye on the michelin, but always could never fork out the $$$.

so one day, i bought this on my way back from the states. i totally love it. (~$120USD)




what i always look for in a jack is it having a high lifting range (this one is 18-1/2"). there's nothing working under a car and not having another 1" of clearance. makes you $%#@%$#

We do that too, id imagine its not to healthy for the fenders though we usually lift from the wheel wells. Awesome post i didnt even know they made jacks for this purpose.
