or just get a longer jack, the floor style ones with the long handle,

17.25 inches isn't bad for a small low-pro jack that you can block for additional height..

yes. Search the internet. You can even get airbags to lift cars.

I have the standard Craftsman 3ton with stands. Wait til the "after thanksgiving day sale" and you can get it for like $75 or something.
