two things to consider--- minimum clearance and max lift height. If you are planning on working on cars with very low chassis, try and get something with a very low clearance, like 3 inches. Lift height of 20" is pretty standard, and adequate for most floor jack use. They make extended range jacks that lift to over 29 inches, but they have reduced weight capacity, and the car can get very unstable when you try and go that high (make sure your wheel blocks really work!). Also need to consider reach under car--- they make long bed units that will reach 30 inches underneath the car and still let you pump the handle. Excellent units are made by AC Hydraulics (DK20, about $240 and DK13, close to $400(!)). You can go much cheaper, but they won't last...
