Default I've got one too....

It's very low profile so it fits under a lowered S very nicely. With my Craftsman jack I had to drive the car up on some 2x12's so I could fit the jack under it.

The AC Hydraulics jack seems to be well built and is very easy to use with the 1/4-turn release.

Default It's real nice <more> *Attention Piggie* <- your opinion requested

It's really low....and it's low-profile for the whole body (as compared to the one at Griots). I really like the hydraulics lift&amp;release mechinism. It's a lifetime tool. It's an investment. I'll never have a lift, but I have a jack that lifts to almost 30 inches!!!!

So, I am able to use it on a slammed S4 or I can use it on my Gr Cherokee. If you are going to buy one, spend the extra on this model. The DK20 is real nice too - under 300. I got the DK13HLQ because it could jack my Jeep too.

You know used the jack the most? MikeS401 (Pink Piggie) did the whole Piggie Pipes installation on my S4 using that jack and a set of jack stands. He said he liked it. I like the little rubber pad that I bought too (extra).

Good luck
Matt

BTw, shipping is about $50.

Default nice.. almost convinced.. so you suggest the DK13HLQ ?

Is it still low profile all the way back like the DK20?

thanks

Default The big difference between the DK13 and DK20 is height.

The DK13 has a rise of 29 inches. (more money)
the DK20 has a rise of 19 inches.

I've tried normal heght jacks on my Jeep, and they don't work, not high enough. But this DK13 can reach.

It depends if you need the jack for a truck.
