Default QuickJack and frame rails

Hello. I was planning on picking up some QuickJacks - not sure which model (maybe 5000TL). I was also going to order some aluminum frame rails from Elite Engineering. I was wondering if someone used both of these products. Which QuickJack did you purchase? Does it work well with the aluminum frame rails?

Can someone who has the frame rails provide the minimum and maximum lifting point spread?


I have a 2004 Auto Coupe if it matters. Thanks!

FWIW, I have the 5000TL and love it! I use the rubber pucks which hook into the slots in the frame rails and notched some 2x6's which I put into the slots in the QJ'sso I can align them better under the pucks. Haven't looked at the rails from EE, so I can't answer that part of your question.

I have Elite Engineer's frame rails and the QuickJack works fine with it.

I have those frame rails and a QuickJack 3500SLX. I lift where the pucks would normally go.

Are you asking for specific measurements at those points?

Yes. I was hoping to be able to use the measurements to select the correct QJ. But also just interested in QJ model numbers that work with those rails since I've read some conflicting info that they work some times and you need to rig other solutions when needed.

BL-5000SLX. First perfect under a C5. I had to buy their extended rails to work on my friend's C8 though.

I have these frame rails and the 5000TL QuickJack. You do have to have the blocks slightly off but it's not a major issue. Maybe 80% in contact

I have the 7000TL with these frame rails and they work perfectly together.
