Jacked up

I figure some of you might be interested in this. At $1000 down from near $1500, it seems like a good price.

I think if I was still in my house, I'd buy one. I used to use rhino ramps when I had my GTO, which made it easier for oil changes.

Nice deal, I'm seeing 60" Max lift spread. I just measured my car and my pinch welds are pretty much 65". Is there a bit of a different point I can use on the car to make these work? Not super familiar with these cars, I've only had mine for a few days. It looks like I could put the pinch weld blocks closer together but there is some plastic in those locations I don't want to break. If these will work with my 1LE I'll buy it for sure.

The will work, you will use the aft part of the rear lift point and the further aft of the 2 forward lift points...

It's look like this when it is lifted... (That is my QuickJack BL-5000SLX without the frame extensions)

I have the same and it works fine, stable as a rock. Got mine at the HD for $1100 (great price) so thats a deal. I purchased the extension kit and have never used/needed it, same with the SUV kit, lifts my truck maybe four inches save your money.

I'm going to miss living in a house for a bit, but the housing market was so crazy that I was compelled to sell. I figure once the market comes back down, I'll get something decent at a good price. The one thing I miss about living in a house is having my pressure washer system and detailing the hell out of my car.

Same here, love them!!! 5000EXT

I use the ZL1 mag pucks, simple, easy, works like a charm. Made skirt install easy!!!! Not to mention oil changes, wheel removal and swapping, and so on.....best purchase I made for the garage.

Realized this was before the race deck was installed on the floor!!! lol looks much nicer now!!!

Looks like it is hitting rear tire, that's camera angle...it isn't that close, 1-2 inches easy.

I even use them for detailing the car, makes it much easier when you can move the car up and down almost 2 feet

Being in TX, I probably would not have sold if I were you. Our housing bubble is not going to end anytime soon.

There's definitely mixed reporting. I've heard that we started slowing down, granted everything slows down around this time of year, and that we're accelerating. The way I calculated it is I was offered $90K more for my house over how much I was offered pre-Covid. The options were to invest another $60K into it and put it back on the rental market, or sell it and use the proceeds to find something in an area that I'd like. I'm looking for as rural as I can get while still getting high speed internet.

Came across something on another forum about conflicting info in the MaxJack instructions relative to the rubber blocks. A guy had his Vette fall off the lift, because he double stacked the blocks, and he felt the instructions said that was ok.
I don’t have the lift or the instructions but wanted to throw that out there as a PSA. Maybe someone can verify.

I think they do state to not stack to TALL blocks, but not sure. They call them medium and tall, or something. need to go dig out the paper for these.

Either way, I would NEVER, repeat, NEVER, stack the rubber blocks.
I use the magnetic ZLI with the pucks, those sit on the medium rubber blocks and work perfectly. No clearance issues, no need to stack.

Closer look at where everything sits, and you can see why, no way I would put a second block. The mag pucks are a better option for clearance.
