ebaker is infamous around these parts
Sears has the low profile aluminum one on sale again this week.
PN 50239, $180 reg $200, 4000# cap., weighs 45#. It's probably too tall to fit under the engine but should fit the side jack points OK.

S-K Speed, 1075 Route 109, Lindenhurst, 631 957-9525, Southern State Parkway to Exit 33 (Route 109) south for about 3/4 mile on left. I bought an aluminum 3000lb. capacity jack there for $175 and it has plenty of clearance under my lowered TT. The saddle height is 3 1/2 inches.

Try this, I've got one and it easily clears my stock height car.

Andrew, As an alternative you can always back the car up onto a plank of wood to give you that extra clearance, with the X73 and the Harbor Freight 1.5 ton jack we have no problems.

Just buy a spare jack as the one included in your car. This fits perfect in the factory cutouts and has plenty of room to fit under any lowered car. You can then jack both sides at a time and put your regular hydrolic under or even use jack-stands.

Just got my AC DK20 yesterday and I can confirm that it slips under the rear of a GT3 which sits pretty low and extends far enough to get under the flat part of the engine casing for lifting of the rear.
