Message	won't clear the front lip, but it has that fast one-pump lift and is very sturdy and most importantly has enough lift range. I tried their light aluminum "racing" jack initially but returned it when I discovered to my horror that it didn't even have enough lift range (lifting from the pumpkin) to get the back of the car high enough to put on my jackstands at their lowest setting. That deemed it useless for me and it promptly went back to the store. Z-Jay Vice President - Edmonton Z Car Club 93 300ZX TT - Stage VI
