Just stumbled over this...collapsed only 3 inches.

QuickJack BL-3500 Racecar Pit Jacking System (New)

Whatcha think?

Nice! Would be perfect for my small, low ceiling garage.

have one, love it. Solid build quality and very sturdy. the only criticism is the printed instructions are literally missing key steps. If you buy one go to their website and watch the setup video, much more thorough than the printed instructions

Do you have the one listed here that Summit is selling?

That looks doable for my 'low ceiling' garage too. It should work okay for my ERA Cobra but not sure if my 2010 GT500 (~3950 pounds) would overload it or not. By their numbers, it's too heavy but I'm wondering how much 'fudge' they give you.

How sturdy is it with a car at the highest point? Obviously, stands or such would be used...

Is yours 3.5K or 5K?. Curious if the 5K fits easily under a Cobra

I looked at the Summit listing. It's says sold individually. Does that mean you need 2 or do they come as pair?

If you watch the video (QuickJack - Ranger BL-5000 Quick Jack - Motorsports Race Jack Stands - Race Car Pit Lift - Portable Car Lift - Garage Lift - Ranger) you'll see there's a lock bar on each side that goes in place before you go under the vehicle.

I'm looking at the 5,000 lb. model as it goes as low as 3" (same as 3,500 lb. model) and I have other vehicles to use it with.

Definitely sold in pairs. I'm sure there would be massive liability issues if they were sold individually. Can you imagine the legal issues if someone attempted to lift their vehicle using a single unit? Ouch.

Thanks, I went and looked at the mfg. video's. When the guy takes 2 out of the box it answered the question. Sometimes Summits descriptions are a little confusing. 1 of them wouldn't make any sense but you never know in todays marketing world.
It looks like it would be great for setting up corner balance and alignment instead of using my 2 post.

The 3.5 K lift is too short to lift from the frame outriggers on an SPF. Would need the 5K version.
