I’ve seen promo pictures of them being used passing under the car side to side. Will the BL5000 SLX be okay for using this way on these cars? 
Leif? Jeff?

Just remember that you'll need side clearance when jacking it that way as the car will move to the left or right when lifting.. probably not a problem in a 2 car garage, but in a single car garage, it could be close.

Thanks, Jeff. My problem is that my double garage is only 20x20 feet. The info states the jacks when raised move the car 11 inches or so. That amount forward might cause things to get very close. Going sideways I’d have plenty of room especially since I usually pull into the center of the garage to work. Dave
Jeff, Sent you a PM.

Your C2 is not quite 15 feet long. With a 20 foot deep garage, don't you have plenty of room using the jack under the frame in the conventional fashion? Sounds like you have plenty of room, unless you have cabinetry, etc in front of the car. Just curious. Either way, you're going to love the convenience of this lift.

Might have to try the cross lift method next time I need my car in the air. Had it up this morning to wash the oil pan and some places under there hunting for a small leak. Had seen it done on quickjack's you tube shows but forget about it when needing to get the car up.

Consider also the type of garage floor you have. If it is smooth, painted or tiled, the Quick Jack will slide without huge effort. However, if it is bare concrete, the jacks can be difficult to move. If they are parallel to the frame rails you only need to move them a foot or so (mine stay under the car when not in use). If you are sliding them in perpendicular to the rails, you have to move them several feet while dealing with hydraulic lines.
I have the 5000 model. It is not light. The 3500 model may be light enough to pick up and lean against the wall, but you will need muscles for the 5000...
