Message	The 3.75" number is just BS marketing. The jack handle doesn't come all the way down parallel with the floor -- it points upward about 10 degrees. So the jack will slide under the car easily, but there's not enough room for the handle. It works (barely) if you drive up on 2x10's like BigTDogg suggested. BTW... I have an old version of the Sears aluminum racing jack, purchased about 3-4 years ago. They might have improved the design since then. If it works for you, maybe I'll upgrade :)
