My idea for the ultimate set-up is:
make a fixture to plug into the stock jack ports to allow
the floor jack to jack up the front (normal jack range would
require two increments), build a Kempinski dolley and
you could pull the engine with just a floor jack!! And in
the lowest garage... think about it.
