Anyone know if a Quickjacks will fit under and lift a 2019 Leon Cupra Estate?

I have a QuickJack BL-5000SLX which fits under and lifts my 350z, (which is pretty low), and used to lift my Honda people carrier (which was not).
The 5000 range refers to 5000lbs, which is approx. 2.2 tonnes - I've not actually tried it lifting anything heavier than about 1.5/1.6 tonnes though.

I've just bought a 5000TL Quickjacks, because it lifts a bit higher. Mainly to use on an old car, that the solid rubber blocks are suitable for. But the Leon estate uses pinch weld jacking points.

They seem a bit pricey at nearly £100.

Yeah I thought the same at the time, but I wouldn't be without them.

I certainly wouldn't want to lift a car on the pinch welds with the solid blocks.

And I sure as st wouldn't be putting anything between the solid blocks and the pinch welds.

Thanks for the link. Someone posted about using wood with a slot cut into it, which was something I was considering. As was using axle stands as a safety back up.

A hockey puck with a slot cut in works well!

Not with quickjacks they don’t.
