Is there a jack that can reach the front point easily?

I have the quick jacks. It does take sometime to set it up. Probably way easier and faster just to drive on some ramps and jack up the car.

I still like them and use them from time to time

Its funny you should say this, I was about to order a set and watched a video. Dawned on me that it would take me twice as long to set this up, as it wouldto simply jack the car up a bit.

For maintenance work like fluid changes or tire rotations (which for me would be 80% of the time I'd be wrenching) the QJ just seems like a lot of work.

Originally wanted one but decided against it because of that reason plus the fact that I don't exactly have a ton of storage in the garage to begin with.

Is this the one? Does it work without added fuss such as having to use ramps or jack the sides?

No jack will fit without needing ramps or jacking the sides.

Theres not enough clearance to go from the front of the car and bring the jack underneath to hit the lift point in the center.

Yes this is it, I drive up on a couple 2x4s and jack the front up.

i have this one and it doesn't clear the front bumper. I had to drive up on a couple 1x6's to get it to clear which is harder than it sounds on my slippery epoxy garage floor

I have this jack and have no problem grabbing the front jack point. I am stock height and do not need to drive up on 2x4s to get the jack under.

I also have these and I cut some 2x10 for the FL5 to be able to get up.

I use a couple pieces of wood and a standard HF Pittsburgh low profile 3 ton floor jack.

I've been tempted to buy one of these u-jack that has a little slot cut out in the lift pad for a jack stand. Kinda pricey for saving a few minutes getting the car up in the air but seems awesome. No need to even jack on the center point, just go to pinch weld and slide a stand into the cutout.
