5000 works well. If 7000 works, go with that since it will work for other cars. I had to get the platform extender to be able to lift my wife’s Volvo XC90.
I couldnt find one that would fit both my cayman, cayenne and 911. The one that would fit cayenne was too long for the cayman so I chose Twin Busch Scissor jack and 3 yrs later I am very happy with it
a little more money but so many more uses, possibilities and it lifts much much higher
Something to note in post #75 on this Quick Jack thread on Rennlist.
I did a weight and balance (comes from my flying days) on my Porsche 993 which is similar to a 991 I am sure. The front to back C of G was 13.4 inches forward of the rear jack point or about where the door handle is.
In the pic below, I would have flipped the Quick Jacks 180 degrees to get the lower pivot point closer to the back wheel.
Although I have a 2-post lift, there are times I am thinking about the Quick Jack as a spare to use outdoors.
Having just done some measurements on my 991.1, your 5000 TL is spot on.
The TL is a better fit than the TLX. I guess you can always go for the 7000, but that is overkill and making the lifts heavier to slide in, plus they are 4" fully collapsed compared to 3.5" for the 5000 TL.
I have a quick jack 5000TL. Make sure to use the system in a reverse fashion, since the engine is in the rear. All the weight is back there & otherwise will work perfectly.

something to consider
Any problem driving on to the lift ? I have a lowered 991.2
i just ordered the 7000tlx which should work for both my Q5e and the 991s
I have a 7000 that works perfect on my 911. I have the extenders so i can lift my CTS4 and my C8 but my Avalanche does not need them. They didn't offer the "x" version when I purchased mine years ago, you had to buy the extenders.....good lift, I trust it.
