There is a picture above that shows the tire height using the SLX. Doesn't get high enough for those 12 inch ramps. Now if the TLX goes an extra three inches then maybe.

Complete waste of time and effort. When a QJ is used properly and it is lowered onto the safety bars, it is no longer being held with hydraulics, it can sit on the safety bars until the end of time.

True but, Hydraulics fail & steel can break. Anyone have experience related to my race ramp question?

I know this is a late reply but I keep my QJ on my garage floor and just drive over it with my C8

as long as you do t run over the hoses you are fine.

So strange they can’t tell you which model will fit certain model cars….how hard can it be to start to build a database for stock unmodified cars…..
