This jack i would avoid, the min/max ratio,5 1/2" - 15", is all wrong. . (imho)

Racing jacks start at 3 1/2 to 15" (approx) great for quick jobs, eg tire changes etc.
Make sure you match the jack stands. You don't want to find that you have trouble raising the car off the stands easily. The racing jack is nice but no real weight lift nor height.

I like a 3 1/2 ton 5 1/2" - 22" lift for room with matching 3 1/2 ton, 20" stands.

I use both sets if i need the working height, i use the racing jack to lift the car enough to slide the 5 1/2" under. This way i'm always using the correct lift points.

Overkill maybe but it works for me
