No, it's not. Look closer. Outboard wheels, square pad... Two piston pump. It's not the same. It also seems to have a longer lower portion before the pivot. Works very well on Vipers.

Yes,the one in the background of the pic I posted IS A HARBOR FREIGHT JACK that I BOUGHT from HARBOR FREIGHT.So don't tell me it's not,when I purchased it there!Either way,all the stubby jacks posted won't compare to that black one in reach, height and strength, especially on a lowered car.The stubby jacks always hit the exhaust covers when trying to reach the jack points on the car behind the front wheels,and also the rear fascia.Before I lowered the car,the stubby jack worked fine!As long as you're happy with the jack you have,that's all that matters!

Look, it's not the same JACK. Are you visually impared? I don't care about the big bastard in the foreground of your pic. The little blue one you bought is crap.. The dimension I'm talking about I marked in red. It won't hit the side sills. TRUST ME on this one.

Just because they changed the design of the end of the jack from two years ago,doesn't change the fact that the middle of the jack will still hit a lowered viper,and doesn't change the fact that it is the harbor freight jack.Now compare it to the black one !

didnt read what anyone else said but I have a regular autozone jack and just stack one 2x4 BEHIND both front tires (one 2x4 wont clear the front of the car its that low).

once I get on the 2x4, I stack 2 more behind the one I am on and back onto them and stop. I then get the jack under the front first, then I can get jacks under the rear without any wood once the front is high enough. Then just jack it up evenly and put your stands under the car and get the jacks out.... I just did this to install my new clutch today...

kinda a pita but my car is SLAMMED
