    Took a while and is prolly an overkill at 3500KG rating... but because it is dual piston you pretty much just have to wiggle the handle and it pumps up.

    90mm when down and lifts to nearly 1/2 a metre...

    now after 2 1/2 years I will be able to get under it myself (as soon as I work out the best jack points and Stand spots)

    SAme here, the only way to ge mine under is first jack up the side a little with the tyre jack. Then The front bar is up enough to fit the jack under (and I have a stock front bar, worse for people who lower theres)

    A little tip - I have a couple of spare pavers which I keep in the driveway. Put them in front of the front wheels, drive up onto them, presto, instant jack clearance and no need to pre-jack the sides. Easily transported in the boot if I'm taking the hydraulic jack interstate or to a circuit.

    I have the same problem I forked out nearly 500 bi=ucks for one of those smick alloy race jacks and it still didnt fit under my car because of the front overhang. A mate of mine gave me some ramp things that you drive the front wheels onto which raises the car about an inch and a half which then clears the jack. These are heavy duty rubber strip things and are bloddy brilliant.
