Is it the extended length or regular length?
I ask because I need the extended length for my Lexus but the extended length jack minimum jack points seem almost too far apart. The 37.4" lands about right in the middle of my pucks. Are C7 jack points the same distance? I may upgrade to a C7Z soon.

I ordered the BL-5000EXT and I could make it work. I ended up returning it because FedEx lost the box with the power unit, hoses and fittings. I saw they went missing right from the beginning after my shipment arrive and i was missing a box. That was 1 week already. After notifying QuickJack and requesting for them to send what went missing they never responded after several days of calling and requests. What a disappointment. The return was a nightmare to until i talked to the right person. I really needed it. Back to the ramps and messing around.

Personally, if having room wasn't an issue I think a 4-post would be a much better choice. Fact is you can store this Quickjack in an extremely small space, up and out of the way. A 4-post not so much.

While I can see the advantages to a 4 post lift, seems like one big dis-advantage would be that you can't do any wheel off work without jacking up the car while it's on the lift. In other words you still have to jack the car up if you want to remove a wheel .....what am i missing ??

If you have the height in your garage there is no disadvantage. Drive on the lift, then lift it, then walk under it and use the sliding jack to jack the suspension. No laying on the ground, ever.

Also easy to just lift the lift without a car on it to get it out of the way. The post footprints are only a foot square.
