I just got the 5000 for 799 clearance at costco...might want to catch one..if dimensions the same for blocks ok but tight fit on my c3...also I wouldn’t double up blocks to gain height, mine flung them on c3 irregular frame...

I picked up the 7000 earlier this year and added the SUV/Light Truck adapter kit. It works very well for both my '73 and my Suburban.

Do the truck adapters work on your C3? Enough clearance? I've been thinking about getting those for mine but wasn't sure they would clear.

There is not enough clearance when my '73 is sitting on the ground to use the truck adapters. I can use them by first lifting the Vette high enough to put some wheel cribs I have under the tires. They work just fine after that. Just having the thickness of a 2x4 under each tire might be enough clearance to use the truck adapters.

Edit: To clarify. I can use the truck adapters on my '73 without any extra work raising it first. But, I can't use the adapters with the extensions until I raise the car enough first to make room for the extensions.

ABSOLUTELY they will and they are rigid!!!! Slightly higher than the double blocks and even higher with the extensions they come with (need those for my truck). Mine fit right in without issue on my 77 (minus the extension / middle piece for trucks) and it clears the cross member that some people complain makes contact with the lift frame when rising. I never use the rubber blocks for my C3 anymore.
