Quickjack for Model 3 - BL-5000SLX?

[pandam3]

I’m thinking of getting the 5000 SLX as well... has anyone done the 5000 SLX by itself without the extension kit?

Is this long enough for the Model 3? If it is not long enough, can I just lift the car side ways with it? And would it be long enough to lift side ways?

QJ does mention lifting the Model S side ways in their link due to wheelbase.

FYI, the 5000SLX is on sale again for $999 at Costco

you will need extensions for the 3 if you buy the Costco lift. Although I think you could turn the Quickjacks 90 degrees and lift the car without any issues. Quickjacks recommends lifting the S model with the jacks turned 90 degrees.

Pandam3, turning the jacks sideways would have to work on the three too. I'm contemplating buying a set now.

I have the 5000SLX and it works fine with the Model 3. The frame length is just enough to cover both jack points.

I wish Costco had the 7000. I'd prefer that since it's heavier duty and future proof as cars get heavier.

Looks great... perfect fit, I guess I’ll be ordering one too from Costco

The SLX will work, but I would go with the EXT if you can find it. The jack points are exactly 60in. The spread on the SLX is 60in. When I tried it, half of the puck was hanging off the pad and I did not feel safe about it. The 5000 was plenty to lift the model 3.
You could buy the extensions also, but then it might not fit under the car...

Don't need to use a puck. Use the included rubber block.

I recently purchased the 7000EXT because the additional cost is negligible and don’t want to regret in the future not being able to lift an EV SUV.

The rubber pads and jack pads don’t work because of the room; I cut some pieces of 2x6 to insert in the quick jack trays and then my reverse logic jack pads fit perfect!

Just used it swap my 18 Aeros for some 20” Perofmance wheels and tires!

I have the 7000 along with the 20” performance wheel m3 and there isn’t enough clearance to slide a rubber block nor a puck. Any suggestions or pictures on how to use this version of quick jack would be appreciated, Thanks in advance!!!

Those are really nice wheels, who makes them?

So here's what I do. I have two 1"x10"x10 foot planks cut into 3 pieces and I' drive onto the plank, park, remove the center pieces and slide jack under the sides (where the center pieces were) and raise the car.
