SL 550
Looking for low profile Hydraulic Jack
I'm tired of using the hand crank jack that comes with the SL every time I need to pull a tire off. Problem is I can't find a low profile hydraulic floor jack that I trust to be low enough profile for the car.
I bought one and brought it home but even at it's lowest profile, was still about 2 inches too high to slide under the car. This scares me about ordering one on-line.
Anyone got a suggestion for one they know works with the SL?
Thanks!

Get a hydraulic jack. Because of its useful release valve, you can adjust the level of the jack subtly and easily. Its milled guides also work smoothly and offer a precise lowering and lifting motion. This way, you have full control of how high or low your car should be from the ground. I think this will greatly help you with your problem.

I have at least 5 floorjacks , but I recently picked this one up as it is lower than all I have and reaches farther than most,

you can often find it on sale for closer to 100 or use a 20% off coupon
hope that helps,
