Does anyone know if the 7000SLX model will properly cover all of the jacking points? I'm considering one but I'd want to be able to use it on my truck as well so I'd need the higher weight rating.

Last weekend when I went to get the car up in the air, I drove the front onto my Race Ramps and jacked the rear to put on stands, and 1) the race ramps didn't clear my lip and it scuffed off a bunch of clear, and 2) when I jacked from the rear diff it pulled the car backwards enough to roll off the ramp with stands and my jack under the car but luckily nothing was damaged. In hindsight I should have put stands under the front after getting onto the ramps. I find it is such a PITA to get all 4 corners in the air, and while the RR are nice, there isn't enough room to get chocks behind the wheels and now I need to use extra extensions with wood or something to get enough clearance.
