Default Floor jack with low minimum lift height

For those who have lowered ITR's - can you tell me where I might find an inexpensive (and preferably fairly small) hydraulic floor jack that has a minimum lift height of less than 5 inches?

Ken:
I couldn't find one (at least reasonably priced one) so what I do is just drive onto some 2X4's to get a little extra height for getting the jack the car.

Last week I had to help open a new Costco in MD and noticed they were selling an aluminum floor jack weighing in at only 35 lbs. It was low and even had a rubber lip plate. It resembled the ones running in the upper $500+. We sell it for around $300.

Thanks,

No F**king way! I guess I do need a Christmas present for myself. Otherwise this is very nice.

I couldn't find an inexpensive one like that so I just went to KMart and bought a Penke jack for cheap. I use the factory jack to lift the car up 1 inch and then I can put the jack under the car.
