Has anyone used the Quick Jacks 7000TL with a 991.1 GT3? I've seen people talking about using the 5000TL, but I'd like to be able to lift my X5 also.

Thanks in advance.

Should be fine. I'm using the 5000 model on the GT3. The model name just designates the maximum load it can lift. You probably will need to purchase the jack point extensions separately for the X5 for it to be securely settle at the locking points. You don't want the quickjack to stay up high without locking it for safety.

Thanks BLKMamba, looks like the length is the same, so I thought it should be ok. Agree that I'll probably need the extensions for the X5.

I have the 7000 and works great on a 991 GT3 - no clearance issues and you can use the low rubber blocks it comes with. Now it doesn't fit on an 89 911 - the wheelbase is too short. I have to get the car up on wood blocks first.

Dave's911

Perfect, thanks skremese.

I think you can use it perpendicular if enough lateral clearance for movement on shorter wheel base cars...

7000 works. I have to activate the FAL to slide it in with the low rubber blocks.

Will it fit under a GT3?

rickster997

yes. I use pucks and instead of the rubber blocks it comes with, I put2x6 wood cut to length in the pocket. Works like a charm. I have the 5000xl.

I have the 5000XL which I purchased this year. Works perfectly.

I purchased the lowest profile rubber blocks from Home Depot. Fits the slot much better because of the increased width and length of the block.

Added bonus with the XL is that I can do my SUV as well.

Some pictures in case it is not clear. I showed where the pucks end up. They are actually attached to the car before sliding the QJ under. The smaller piece of wood is a key. I raise the QJ until I can slide it and hit the pucks with the rim. Then I know the puck is centered on the QJ. This setup makes the QJ as slim as possible. The wheels you see is this hack. I installed it today so I have no clue if it will last..

sasportas

That's a great idea.

How do you align the forward/aft location so that both sides are lifting at the same point?

I find that I have use the front end of the side sill on both sides of the car as a rough guide.

With the pucks in place they align with the blocks as pictured. When I slide it under the the “key” barely clears, so a quick pop of the up button raises it enough that it still clears the bottom wood but not the “key” wood. Works great. Love my QJ I just bought the 12v pump on sale and I take it to the track with me.

I figured a video is worth… you know…
