They're awesome. Had my 7000SLX for 2+ years. Customer service is top notch.

Thats a great thing to have.
Because I'm over lying on my back I had a pit made a couple of months ago, and that works for me.
Anything is better than lying on my back these days.
I don't care if it's illegal either to build a pit these days.

Anything other than the floor jacks are nice, but aren't you limited as to what you can do with ^ lift, still needs to be either sitting down or on your knees? For older folks like us, we prefer the regular height one's, easier on our backs

I bought the Pro-Lift C-9100 creeper. It allows me to remove stuff and the wheels are lockable. You can really torque things down well.

I have been considering one of these too, but am concerned about it lifting my car. Car has been dropped 1" with H&R springs, and I am not sure it will lift. Can anyone confirm?

Also, will the 7000 version work as its a great deal at Costco as mentioned above.

Mine is pretty lowered and it just fits under the aftermarket rockers on the car. I am sitting on Tech Arts re-branded Bilstein coilovers at 26 front and 26.5 rear. I have to slip the rubber pads in through the wheel well and onto the lift for the fronts, but they make it fine. The rears slide under with the pads sitting in their little slots.

Worst case you could fashion some wood pads to drive the car onto and slip the lift in that way. I have the 7000 so you should be fine there.

my max jax has 2 height settings. 2 ft which i can use my creeper with wheels to easily roll around and do whats needed or sit on a stool and do brake or suspension work. theres a lso a 4 ft height which allows me to use the maxjax oil drain kit which i shortend the drain tube and can sit on my stool with wheels and roll around underneath. just have to watch your head !

The pic about with the quickjack is my car it’s also lowered on Eibach’s.
It is a great deal at Costco and I can left my truck with as well.
