Default Quickjacks block size question

What size quick jacks blocks are you using to lift your c8? I have a 5000tlx and it came with blocks that are about 3” high and there isnt much clearance between the blocks and pucks. Wondering if I need shorter blocks.

Thank you

I use the tall blocks, but mine came with four tall blocks and four short blocks. You can use both a tall and a short stacked together for more clearance.

thx. There is no way i could stack two blocks on top of one another. With the large block there are a few quarters worth of space between it and the puck. I think im going to get some medium sized blocks together to get a bit more space.

I just bought a 7000TL with extended frames and the low profile blocks. Just curious why you’d want to use the bigger blocks? Also are you using jacking pucks as well or just the pads at the jack points?

I use tall blocks and rubber jack pucks in the rear lift points, only tall QJ blocks in the front.
