It all depends on what you're going to lift.

Just your Camaro? Then the BL-5000 series is good enough. As directed on their web site, take the measurements. That will decide if the SLX is sufficient or is the EXT model better.

If you intend on using it on more than just your Camaro, then choose the higher rated models that fit your needs. Some people use theirs to lift their SUV's or trucks and would need the higher capacity models.

That's as specific as you can get.

From what I’m gathering I don’t need the zl1 add on jack pads. Or do I?
Lol see! I'm curious because I too want to buy quickjacks

It appears that you will need some lift pads or lift blocks. Lift pads attach magnetically, and jack blocks attach with set screws and are meant to be attached permanently.
Note: ZL1 addons are not the only company that makes them others can be found on Amazon for much less.

it is pretty clear...just look at the Camaro pics and decide from there. EXT model is slightly longer. If you want more capacity for other heavier vehucles, get the 7000.

How safe are they. Don’t want car falling on me. Any extra precautions you guys take? I think I’m leaning towards the 7000 slx since wife has a suv.
