    Do you absolutely need an aluminum jack? Regular steel is a lot cheaper and you won't notice much of a difference unless you're lugging it around.

    I managed to get a 2-1/4 ton jack + jackstands at Sears for $40 on sale. They have the set for $55 right now. You can put the money you save into other tools you might need.

    I have a Sears 3ton jack -- if I find some extra cash/time, I might go get a lightweight 2ton..mine is heavy, and if I have to take it somewhere, I'd rather take something that's not going to drop the back end of my car 2 inches. :p

    I agree with you on this one... I was looking for a jack and ended up buying a "low profile" aluminum jack from Harbor Freight for around $100.
