Ah yeah. I use a Torin wide base jack. I’ve had my factory jack slipped before.

Whoa, that's scary. I see your point.

At first I could only pump the handle a few inches until the front end was higher up, but it all worked out fine without having to force the issue..

Wonder which HF floor jack are you referring, the low profile 3 ton ($119 now), or the long reach low profile 3 ton version ($239 now)? thanks a lot,

I use my 1-1/2 ton jack to lift slightly on one side behind the front tire, then use my 3 ton HF jack to lift at the center lift point. It is easier to the see the semi-circular area that way.
