Default Quickjack 5000TLX
Anyone use a Quickjack 5000TLX with their C8?

Can I get away without needing the frame extensions that I need with my regular quickjack 5000TL?

I don't own one yet but from all accounts you can. The TLX is a replacement for the EXT (which worked well on the C8). The minimum spacing between the lift pads is longer and the jack lifts 3" higher. Overall length is supposed to be the same.

I'm sure you can since TLX adds 6" to the length and my old SLX has lifted my C8 many times rock solid and safely.
