Buy which jack? is 20 inches high enough for jack stands for 92 civic?

Will a 20 inch high jack lift a 1992 civic's recommended front or rear jacking point high enough to put 11 inch jack stands under the car? I only want to use the recommended jacking points.

Which should I get? People say heavier is better. I don't care if it's heavy. Any other considerations? Will a higher one let you do more different kinds of repairs?

any of those floor jacks will work.

when i owned my 97 civic i used a standard shop floor jack and it worked fine. if you do not get the lift that you need then just use a 2x4 or 4x4 block between the car and the jack.

seems to be the best bang/buck. as i said you can always use a wood block if it doesnt lift high enough in the shop. actually when i lift my 2010 mazda 3 up, i ALWAYS use a block since i don't want to wear off the undercoating.

i prefer the solid steel adjustable jackstands (where it has teeth and they lift up to about 18-20" or so. having a little more room under the car makes working on them SO MUCH EASIER unless you have a pit to work from.

as for weight limits... the honda civic itself isnt a heavyweight car and you are only jacking up less than 1/3 to 1/2 of the total weight at MOST anyways so even a 1 ton jack *could* lift it. having a 2 or 2.5 ton as i suggested would allow you to keep and use the jack for future vehicles.
