I think that's where the QuickJacks helped me - got the car high enough so that I didn't have to squat and lean forward.

Nandska

which quickjack model do you have? I think I asked you this before. lol.

WhrDLMI

I got the 5000TL. It's overkill for the S but I wanted to be able to lift the Merc, too.

5000TL Portable Car Lift - QuickJack Store

If you have a membership, check Costco. They frequently run really good sales on QuickJacks.

Nandska

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out on Costco's site. I'm thinking I'll probably need a 7000 for the truck and cars. Might be too long for the cars though.

Nandska

Nvm. Seems like the 7000 will work for them. So now the waiting process. lol.

WhrDLMI

You are correct about the length. That's the catch with these things... Pay attention to the "Lift Point Spread" in the Tech Specs page. I had to get extensions because the Merc lift points are like 64" and the max on the 5000TL is 60 BUT the S is relatively short so the total length of the TLX is too tight to fit easily between the wheels.

Nandska

hmmm....ok.

WhrDLMI

I'd take two measurements of all of your cars... The distance between the tires at, maybe, 2" above the ground AND the distance between the lift points. You might find a model that works for all of them. If not, the extensions aren't a bad idea.

I willingly admit that they are absolutely overpriced for what they are but are still cheaper than a second set of jacks.
