finally getting some real lifting power in the garage. Question for those of you that have the jacks?
Did you get the 5000 tl at 60" lift area or the 5000 tlx that are 6" longer lift and overall?
Don't have a c8 here to measure, what did you all get?
Thanks in advance! Dr.k
It would be great if you could post some pics. I have the 7000 slx and it's my understanding that it is too short also. I haven't had the car long enough to check. The Quick jack extensions seem a little pricey and I have heard they make the jack too high for C8s. Thanks

Here are the pics of a C8 lifted with 7000 series quickjacks standard length... Like this....

Many of us have been lifting the C8 with standard length QJ's for 3-4 years now, here is one of the original posts with a bunch of pictures that will explain it all.... https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-and-no-3.html
I went with the 6000ELX. The 87" min length just fits between the tires and is long enough to do other cars like SUV's. https://quickjack.com/car-lifts/6000elx/
How do you all use this in a garage with uneven surface? My garage has a drain in the middle, and has. A surface bias lets the liquid flow to it well. I currently use a floor jack with jack stands, and can never lift the car perfectly level. Im curious if this would let one side to lift a tad higher, to make the car level

The only thing I could suggest is shims are your friend. The 2 sides do not work independent of each other.

Another nice new product from Quickjack but at 76" too long for some of our cars and at 6,000# not quite enough for some pickups.
On most SUV's the shorter versions work fine, on the pickups we use 4 X 6" laid on top to add both height and length for the lifts.
