The actual weight off the jack is important because if you store the jack in a basement with steps or plan to transport the jack in a vehicle an all steel jack may be too heavy to maneuver.
As far as the jack rating, the biggest failure issue with jacks seems to be gradual leak down while under pressure, so a higher rating by weight jack is thought to be more resistant to hydraulic fluid blowing by the seal.
As far as reach and lowered cars, read the description for this jack- http://www.acjacks.com/acjacks_003.htm |
I was kind of being sarcastic about the weight thing, I was hoping people got that...
The DK13HLQ jack on Pelican's site is fricking awesome. $550, but well worth the money IMO.
Again, I built an entire building and installed a commercial-grade 2-post lift just to lift and work on cars, so buying a few hundreds of dollars for a floor jack and stands is completely rational to me.

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
