Doc, you don't need a low profile jack for the H3. lol
This is the set I own (19.25" / 6,000lb LIFT) and works great (right now on sale for $99):

So I never actually did this myself as I was missing too many tools. I am getting ready to buy a floor jack now to do the job but based on many reviews I am not sure which can actually lift my car of the ground. Can someone point to a jack that would work? I was still thinking to use the jack that came with the truck but I noticed its missing the handle that you use to crank it up..... I might need to go down to the dealer to ask about this.
