The only issue is it's not quite low enough to clear the front bumper (even though it's pretty low), so you just have to lift the wheel from the side first and put a 2x4 under the front tires just to give the front an extra couple inches of clearance. Not a problem on the way down since you just drive off the blocks. IIRC getting a lift low enough to clear the front outright was a couple hundred dollars more.
Harbor freight has their lowprofile 2T, which commonly goes for $139, which reached no problem. Rated really well too.
