This with the lift of the arm/brace or whatever you want to call it should give you a lift height of well over 25 inches this would give a lot of working room at a very reasonable cost. Two jacks and two arms at less than $400, my question to anyone who has and has used one of these is will it go under our P Cars with the low profile jack ???
and is 25 to 27 inches enough to pull a transmission....if so this is a good alternative to a inexpensive lift. If this does work out and I eventually buy the jacks I would raise it to height and then place jack stands at 4 corners, even I would feel safe under this.

Problem for lifting the rear of the car - The jacking points are under the sills at either side, not at the rear. That is why I mentioned using 2 long frame jacks.
If you plan using your new cross=beam jack to get the car up on 4 jack stands , better to lift one side at a time and elevate the car sequentially -one side at a time in stages.
The HF adjustable cross beam is not long enough to reach both jack points . You would need to extend/reinforce it. Go back to HF and buy a MIG welder?
