quickjack 6000-elx
Hey,
So I’ve got quickjack bl-5000slx, I use them all the time for my car, F80 and customers. Issue is these don’t work on F10/F90/G80s which I’m working on more. Seems like only the 6000-elx will fit the G8x cars. These seem almost too big for the f8x cars. Anyone use them on an F80? Our car from lift Point start to the end of the rear lift point is 53” which is that lifts minimum. https://www.quickjack.com/car-lifts/6000elx/ |

I have used the 6000 ELX on many cars including F87 M2, F13 M6, G42 M240, and E93 M3, and B8 Audi A5 with no problems. The F13's jack points just barely fit as in the pads are all the way to the front and all the way to the rear. Hope that helps.

Was weighing keeping both sets but if the m2 still fit on it then that covers majority of what I work on. |

For your needs I would look into the 5000 TLX which has a much larger Liftpointspread than your SLX but a not much larger frame length ~76" vs 70" for your SLX model. Last edited by rotomoto712; 02-08-2023 at 01:13 AM.. |

Issue is the lift spread on the g80 is to wide for anything other than the one I linked. I already have the bl-5000 which has the same lift spread as the TL-5000. Going with the ext version only gives me another 6 inches, which is still way to short for the g80
Trying to avoid having 2 difference quickjack sets for the cars I work on. |

I ended up buying the 6000 kit. It is absolutely massive and each arm weighs 100-120lbs. So not light to just maneuver around. I don’t have the room to go laterally.

Wow... they are huge!! Do you think the 5000 will work though on the G80 if you went 90 degrees? (if you had room). My car has yet to be delivered so I can't go out and measure lol.

Interesting HD does not name eg "Quick Jack" 6000elx in the product description. HD sells if for $1599 and on the Quick Jack site its $2005.00. I bet there are some pissed off QJ distributors that are selling if for 2K.....

I think you might have the wrong one. I highly doubt HD is selling it for $400 less than anywhere else. It was recently on sale for 1650(all of February )

I got my 6000 elx from Northern Tools. it was around $1700. I also use it for my E39 and VW Atlas Cross Sport. They are massive and heavy so I do not bring them out unless I have a lot of work to do with the cars.
