Yes, but I’d also take into consideration if you have other cars that couldn’t fit the longer length. I also have an MR2 Spyder which is an extremely short vehicle. I think the longer QJ wouldn’t fit it, and that car spends more time on the lift than my C8. I’ve also heard some older 911s need the shorter ones. I’d pick the lift you can get the most use out of.

If you can store the units flat like one of the posts above, it would really be a time saver for set up too. I like a clean garage and I don’t use them very often, but if you use them a lot then it would be worth flat storing them. Or maybe even sliding them under a bench along the side walls. Another thing I was thinking about was if you could use coil hoses for the hydraulics? That would be a real time saver, leave them attached to the power units and just pull them out to hook up. Not sure that’s even possible, but it would be cool.

5 mins or so, a little more if I have two cars in the garage, maneuvering the QJs around the other car takes a little extra care. My power unit is mounted to the wall and plugged in. I just have to attach the hoses and line up the base units. There’s really no comparison to jack stands, the car lifts fast and level, locks drop in automatically, it’s just so easy and solid. All my neighbors are jealous too! 😊

Standard length 7000SLX - not the extended one.
https://www.quickjack.com/compare/
If you are only lifting the C8.... the extended version will reach both jack pucks.

I just got an email form Quick Jack stating that there is a sale on open box TXL5000 and the TXL7000 jacks. Those two sizes fit the C8 and other large vehicles like your SUVs and trucks. Might be the time to buy one. Hope I don't get in trouble for posting this link: https://www.quickjack.com/refurbished/ if the link is pulled, send me a PM for it.
