Default Anyone using QuickJack Portable Car Lifts for their Z06?

Considering picking up a set of QuickJack Portable Car Lifts for my Z06. 3" total height collapsed will allow lifts to slide under the car and align with frame rails. Anyone using the QuickJack Portable Lifts? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

I thought about buying one a while back. There are a couple of good threads here on the forum about them.

I've got a BL5000 and it has been great.

I got it shortly after I got my 2014 Z51 in 2014 and have since used it on my 2015 Mustang GT, 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Hard Rock, 2016 m2365i, 2016 Z06/Z07, 2017 Camaro AS 1LE, 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon and tomorrow I am going to see how it works with my 2018 Colorado ZR2.

I bought the truck/SUV adapter kit and it has been awesome so far.

I've used it for oil changes, tire rotations and a complete Steeda suspension setup on the Mustang including dropping the entire rear suspension and subframe.

Fits under my Z06 with the LG drop spindles and lines up with the jacking pucks perfectly.

I highly recommend it if you are interested.

Use my 5000 routinely for track day work. Love it. You'll get the routine down quickly and setup is easy. Much better than jacking up each corner and using jack stands.

Works great. I find it easier to get the jack all set up, with all the hydraulic connections made, then place the jacks side-by-side in the center of the floor and drive right over them into place. Then you just pull the jacks out towards the sides of the car a little to line them up.

They work great, I used them for storing the car all winter. Also great for working under the car, it lifts pretty darn high. Wish I had them years ago when I changed headers on jack stands and wood blocks

They're a bit heavy, but manageable

I was debating between the 5000 and the 7000, how do you like the 7000? Is it longer than the 5000 or just able to pick up more?

not sure about the length but the little difference in price is worth it because you get the truck adapters which I can use on my half ton pick up.

I bought the 5000SLX, works good for maintenance and winter storage to keep the tires off the floor.

Got one, works great on my Z. i have the 7000lb unit as I use it on my SUV's as well, but if you are just going use it on the Z, the 5000 lb unit is a little shorter in length & lighter in weight.

Yeah I have a 1/2 ton 14 Silverado LTZ, that would be nice. So you bought the 7000SLX not the 7000EXT correct? As long as you're saying the 7000SLX is usable on the c7 Z06 Im going to purchase it

I also noticed that the 7000 is .6" taller when its collapsed. That may sway me to get the 5000 because I want to lower my Z

I would hope after lowing the Z I would have 3.6" clearance to get them under the car, my luck I would buy the 7000 and it wouldn't fit.
