Do you have enough space with the QJ at the max height?

You'd have enough space as long as you're not a LARGE fellow. I'd recommend using a creeper with it, but since I'm a twig I usually army crawl from one end and out the other lol

I have a 4-post lift and planning to add a QJ for easy tire/brake/suspension service.

Just a follow up that I really liked the creeper I bought to use with m QJ.... what a night and day difference from crawling around on the concrete. The side compartments for tools/screws/bolts are super
useful.

For $40, def a must have to pair with your QJ.

Does anyone have unloaded height dimensions for this? My jack doesn't fit under my car without going over blocks of wood to provide clearance. Would like to know if I can just slide this under and lift, or would I have to drive on top of blocks of wood to provide enough clearance. Thanks!

If you're asking about clearance while storing the QJ under the car. I shove them together and place them forward of the front axle. My under tray barely contacts the hydraulic lines sticking up from the unit. If clearance is an issue, just store them up against a wall.

I think the the collapsed height is about 2" which is way below the height of my side sills and jacking points when positioning them to lift the car.

I got the dimensions from the post above yours. I just don't want to buy something that I have to put my car on blocks all the time to use. Looks like it's going to be that way though. I'm lowering my car even more this weekend and at that height with my CF sideskirts I doubt I'll clear 2" on the side. RIP to my undertray. Time to buy the one piece aluminium one!

Ran into a little disappointment today with the QJ, the BL-5000SLX (model I have) does not fit under my E39 M5. The lift points on the QJ does not reach the jack points on the E39. It looks like QJ has a new model which is the BL-5000EXT offering an additional 6" of length that should fit many more vehicles.

Damn it, I'll go cry myself to sleep now (first world problems)

Back to jack stands for the old girl.

Don't they have extensions for the shorter version to reach the same length as the XL?

Instead of running the lift platform parallel to the car (one platform per side), try turn them and run them perpendicular (one platform for both front jack point and one for both rear). QJ actually posted a video on their site saying that lift setup is acceptable. You may need the SUV lift adapter so the platform will clear the car from side to side.

I hadn't thought of this, pure genius!

I thought about that but I had to drop my driveshaft to change my guibo, CSB and diff pinion seal. To drop the drive shaft, the exhaust on the e39 has to come off in one piece from header back to the mufflers. In this situation the sideways placement wouldn't work for me. 😔

Would the QuickJack pinch weld adapter blocks work for the e39? I can't remember on my old e39 if the sideskirts were in the way or not.

Anyone know, as i assume both lift pieces rely on hydraulic oil/pressure through the lines, if you are storing these, can the two units be separated without oil spewing out?

You mean, can you disconnect all the lines from them and store them?

If so, yes. I have them stacked in my garage with the lines rolled up in a cabinet with the power unit when not in use.

They have nice quick disconnects to quickly disassemble and store as desired.
