Default Quick jack

Does anyone have a quickjack for their C2 with side pipes? If so which model, I called them and the rep didn't give me a response that made me comfortable as he didn't seem knowledgeable about cars.

I have two C2s, one has Hooker side mounts. I need to stack the rubber blocks as per the instructions for the pipes to clear the jack frame. The car is too low to get the stacked blocks under so I drive the front wheels onto some 3/4” boards, then I can stack the blocks. It’s a bl-5000 SLX. Very happy with the jack.

My 67 doesn't have side pipes, but I bought the model 3500 and it's great. I store it under the car and so I pull the components to be under the frame rails to lift the car. A model 5000 would be much harder to move across my non-smooth garage floor. I use the Quickjack to lift my C6 also.

5000 SLX, love it, zero problems stacking the two rubber blocks on the lift prior to lifting. Clears the pipes without issue. Buy it, you'll love it.

leif, can you take a picture from the front to show how much room is under the car? I have a quik lift now but jacking it up by hand is getting to be a pain. I do like the room under the car when up. Can you crawl under the car with a creeper?

Captain,
I have the 5000xls and really love it. No side pipes on my 66, tho. Wish I had it years ago. no problem getting underneath with my DogBone creeper.

Regards,
Jerry
