Those blue point low profile ones are really good. My old man bought me a cheaper brand, yet huge lifting capacity and only 4 full pumps for maximum height.
Cant remember the brand though.

Just bought one of these on the weekend. Wasn't able to find better specs anywhere, even comes in at 95mm, which is cool. Means you don't have to use a scissor jack to lift the car high enough you can get a trolley jack under it. XC70R, would recommend this highly, also very light 'n' shiz.

Haha, the height wonīt be an issue since itīs for a cross country volvo... Not really that low ;)

be mindful of the reach when buying a trolley jack
min height doesnt mean shit if it cant clear your front bumper and reach your crossmember (probably not applicable in this case)
the only thing that blue jack has going for it is the weight
GJLUQ1500 ftw

Hard to tell from the specs. But will that omega one reach a skyline crossmember? And is the handle low enough to be able to jack or will it hit the front bar?
Looking for first hand experiences rather than just assumptions.
