I'm thinking of getting a set of Quick Jacks to get under our cars. From the Costco measuring guide (https://www.costco.co.uk/medias/sys_master/pdf/hfd/h52/137780568391710.pdf) , the 3500SLX is the best fit for our M and S3C.

BUT - I'd really like to be able to use it for other cars (over the 1588kg limit of the 3500 model). I've recently helped a friend fit an exhaust system to a Chim and he has the next model up (7000TL), which only just fits under the Chim. There's a thread on here with pictures of a Chim on the 5000 model which would be ideal. The 3500 has a 3" lower lifting height, which would be a bit of a negative.

So, I'm confident the 5000TL will fit under a Chim so can't see any reason why it wouldn't work for an M and an S3C, but just wondered if anyone else had one and what their experience was. I really don't want to order one and find it doesn't work grumpy

I'd posted this to FB too. I've already received a few replies from people who are using the 5000 model Costco QuickJack on M and S series cars. Feedback is very positive.

Updated this post so it's searchable here for others in the future.

Any other experiences still appreciated. Thanks.

I use the 5000 version on my cerb. I use the front outrigger and carefully place the block between the mid and rear tubes otherwise they are too short. But havent had any trouble lifting the cerb up. Bendpak do extension accessories
