NOTHING will lift as high as this model i have. I've had NO trouble at all with it being too high to go under any cars modern or otherwise. I always grab this walker first tho despite its enormous size and weight. This is the finest floor jack i have ever used and i have at least 4 other smaller jacks (no not those china-rican made things that u can hold under your arm either). The kit was given to me about 20 years ago and i think it was about $45 at that time. I replaced the seals in mine about 6 years ago because it got leaking oil so bad. Be sure that the filler plug on top of the cylinder nearest the handle has a vent hole in it. They do not supply parts for the older walker that i know of. Walker is now under the Viking name which i believe is somekind of swedish or danish co. I have a 10K pound walker circa 1940 and i've been using it for over 30 years.
