Daytona does a few models of aluminum "race" jacks priced from $150 to $300. All are rated at 95% or above, if you trust reviews. HF has sales all the time. Worth a look at least.

Be interested to hear from real users of the Daytona stuff.
Bought an alum HF Daytona about 2 years ago - well worth the money so far - picks up my heavyweight COPO (3450 Empty ) with no problem and fits under the wheelie bars .

I started using the air bladder jacks (and jack stands of course) for the more simple stuff. Fits under my cars easily and is lighter. Also has a more stable base.

I have ProJacks for the more complicated things, but they don't get pulled out as often now.
