I’m lowered about 1.5” on MPP coilovers and have no clearance issues using the short blocks on the 5000SLX. It’s close but not problematic in any way. It’s close enough to where it actually makes alignment easier.
Hey gang, are these jack pads a good buy? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YKK7LKH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2LMJ2R55J79AB&psc=1. I like that they should stay in place, like when going for service. I wouldn't drive with them on, but you can install them right at the shop, and remove them before leaving the parking lot. Have an unrelated question, but folks who have jacked up their car should know: Which suspension type do our cars have front and rear? I think rear is multi-link, but no idea in the front. Hopefully not struts. Thx.
These look the same but a few dollars cheaper https://www.amazon.com/CPROSP-Tesla-Model-Lifting-Adapter/dp/B08NSFSPXZ/
It's already been mentioned, but I can understand not everyone wants to read the entire thread (especially after it was annoyingly merged): you don't need extra jack pads. Furthermore, if your car is lowered, it will be pretty much impossible to fit a jack under with an extra pad installed. For home use, just get a jack with a proper pad. I use this one to get things started, as my car is lowered. I can't fit my "regular" jack with Jackpoint adapter until I get things a bit up in the air. As far as installing extra pads for service, you're likely to just annoy the techs.
That jack doesn't look like it has the proper pad... have you destroyed the little circle cut outs where the jack pads normally go?
That jack is fine. It will do no damage to the chassis. You can jack it up with no pad and not do damage. People are way too concerned about this.
Just throwing these here... borrowed a set of QuickJack 5000SLX from a buddy. We used them both ways on 2 different cars and had no problems using the included lift blocks.
Nope, they come with their own self contained hydraulic pump and you can get it either in 120v or 12v.
