QuickJack BL-5000SLX for Camaro?

2SS Capt · 01-06-2020, 12:05 PM

Would these work well for a 2020 Camaro SS (or do I need the EXT version)?

Works perfectly. I have the 5000 and ZL1 Addons bolt on blocks.... works great.

Awesome, do I need to ZL1 bolt on blocks or is the kit as is fine for lifting?

You can get pinch weld blocks from quick jack, I wouldn’t try lifting without those or zl1 addons, however the placement is always tricky with this quick jack, I had to move my zl1 add on pads over a little for the lift to reach it around.

Thanks, I'll probably just get the pinch weld blocks from QuickJack as I'm not thrilled with the idea of leaving the ZL1 blocks bolted on all the time...

I hear you, they are actually made very well though, been at high speeds with no issues but nonetheless if I could go back the blocks would be worth it as placement would be 10x easier. Takes me at least 10 min to make sure the standard blocks are grabbing / sitting on those pads the right way.

The pinch weld blocks have been extremely helpful.... not just in easy of use for the quickjack, but also for peace of mind at tire shops. They don’t hang below the side skirts and you can’t tell they’re there unless you look for them.

I have three sets installed.... one set in each of the three jacking positions.

Can I ask why?

That is a huge benefit to the blocks. I track the car, I have 6 blocks installed. Best mod for the car for getting it in the air quickly and easily

No intention of tracking my car, the only time it will be in the air is for maintenance. (Oil, Diff service, tire/wheel service).

Ok, so whats the issue with leaving them in?

Just seemed like in some reading people being concerned with them vibrating loose while driving, hate to have one depart while on the road.

UrbanKnight · 01-07-2020, 12:33 PM

Gotcha. I have 4500 miles with mine in. not a single set screw has come loose. And many of those are track miles

UrbanKnight · 01-07-2020, 12:49 PM

And the quickjack works great...

I needed to get the EXT. 5000 version to lift my 18 1LE properly.
Just saying!
