Bought recently and finally finished putting the last PPF on it yesterday and installed today. Swapped from folding mirrors to sport design with Carbon top housing.
QuickJack BL-7000SLX. I got the 7000 because the Wife's X5 is 5,000 lbs and the 7000 was on sale at Costco for cheaper than the retail price of the 5000. Closest Costco is 90 miles from me, but they ship direct so I bought a membership for $60 to save $350 (lol).
FYI, the 7000 fits easily under my stock-height base 991.1 with Rennline pucks and the short QJ rubber blocks. It would also fit under factory lowered 991s as well with just using the QJ blocks and no pucks.
It stores nicely against the wall and takes up almost no space in my garage:
Hi. Wondering where you got those hooks to hang the quick jacks? Thanks

Why you guys don’t leave it on the floor and drive over it? Is there any concern for doing so? Ramp will be tucked in the middle, you just drive over the handle.

That's what I do. I have the 5000 and I push them toward the middle of the car, and park the car over them. That way I don't have to move them/ hang them, and they are out of the way. No clearance issues at all. I just slide them out when I need them. No "handle" to drive over.

I personally don't do this because I keep my Pcar in the large bay in our shop where we use the Quickjacks. Not sure I could actually drive over them with Spasm.
I also wash my car there as we put a drain in specifically for that and I don't want them getting wet all the time.
Exactly. Pretty inexpensive too. They are much "beefier" than I was expecting. My studs didn't line up for where I wanted the hooks so I just installed a 2x6 with 4 lag screws in the studs which gave me more flexibility where I could place the hooks left to right. The hooks can support the weight of the QuickJacks, but when finalizing the exact placement of them I decided to leave the bottom of the jacks on the ground so the hooks really aren't holding any weight at all, they're just keeping them from sliding out or falling over (in other words, I over-engineered my design but left it anyway...lol)

Sometimes I pull the cars out and use the garage for other projects (it's insulated and heated/cooled) so then I'd need to put them out of the way if they were in the middle of the floor. I also like to use them with the car in the middle of the garage so I have more room on either side of the car, so I'd have to back the car all the way out, slide the QJ's over, pull my car in the middle, then place the QJ's under the car.
For my situation it just made sense to keep them against the wall in the corner and pull them out the couple of times a month I'll be using them.
