I may be looking for a new trolley jack to replace my old one.
The old one couldn't lift the jeep without a big lump of wood to get the height !
E-bay is awash with offerings, but can anyone recommend a decent, not too expensive jack to lift my Cherokee, and a regular car ?

Cheers

Have a look at this-
Halfords

I've got one of these, there is an extension piece which goes under the saddle to increase the minimum height. The 'speedy lift' function quickly brings the jack up to the required height where you then start to jack normaly.
This will lift the GC with a 2" lift no problem. With the extension removed it's a standard jack height for normal use.
The only problem is the saddle is a smaller diameter than I would like so I still use a thin piece of mdf to spread the load a little.
