pick one of these up also... did the front wheel bearings on my daughters truck last week and this was a treat to have. they have them at HF...Northern Tool..and costco.
super handy and comfortable to do the work with the height of the Quick Jack..

Be careful though. I had problems. The air cylinders leaked and I had to get new fittings (Bendpack sent them), then I lost fluid all over the place with a failed coupling on one of the long hose fittings. The car could have tipped if I hadn't been paying attention. They eventually made good with some new hoses and fittings, but I had to go up the food chain for relief. Story here: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-forum/1119364-quick-jack-bl-5000slx-5-000-lb-fit.html.

All
that said, they are fantastic once you get it right.

Have now lifted the 928 a few times on the Quickjack. With the thin rubber block the top rail interferes with the rear footwell area, so you at least need the thick block. Then I found with only the thick block (on the jacking point) there was a strange groan on the left side as the rear wheels lifted - thought it was suspension going somewhere its not used to. Then I found the left door wouldnt open...next time I will use both blocks together - note that the video demo above uses both blocks. The fit is a bit tighter front to rear, but they will also lift a Miata easily. No issues so far except as above.

That's where I got mine and I haven't used the floor jack since.

Awesome. I just wanted people to know the sale. $1100 ain't bad and with my $100 gift card...it was only $1000. Rear differential and jobs will come in handy.
