I found a 3 1/2 ton Michelin floor jack at Sam's for 58 bucks. I will reach the chassis in one pump of the handle. I don't know what you consider a low profile jack this one probably isn't one but since we are on the subject of jacks I thought I would mention this deal. The jack is a haas and it is deffinantly a good buy for those with larger trucks, Sam's had a few other jacks there it may be a place to look. Good luck.

Racing jacks are about 3.5". Norco and OTC are couple of brands that make racing floor jacks, actually I think Norco is the just about the only one and everyone else OEM's from them. They are probably expensive, as they are usually rated 6 strokes to full lift.

There has to be some made in China knockof low profile jacks out there somewhere.

oh there just saying if you get in a wreck or if the car comes in the pits with a flat tire, you slip that thing under the frame rail and pry against the ground to have enough room to slide a jack under there. Or if that cant fit somebody could lift up from on a door bar and the jack would slip under. where a regular jack would never fit. We have one :) it works well, but its not a good night if you have to use it..
