What is your setup for raising the car up for service?

Yep, you put about 1” on both front and rear jacking blocks. It’s tight, but it works. Check if they have extensions available, it’ll make setup less precise.
I had to use the 66” reach otherwise it wouldn’t work with my other cars.

Unless I did the measurements wrong wouldn't the 66" reach overhang both of the jacking points at the maximum? Can't you just slide the rubber block back to align it perfectly with the lift point?

Note that they changed the TLX to be 66" by default. If you have the TL or previous generation you likely have a 60" reach unless you have the extenders which take it to 66".

It seems like QuickJack changes their product line and naming frequently.

Does anyone know if the QuickJack 5000TLX would be a good setup for the FL5? It has the 66" reach which per my measurements the FL5 lift points are approximately 64" apart end to end.

I bought the Quickjack 5000TLX for my previous car and it works perfectly for my FL5 as well. The reach is a bit tight.

Ah, I see the issue as you noted. I have the previous generation SLX and the reach was 60”, so for me it is a tight fit. Link for the specs on mine is below for reference:

At 66” there should be zero issues. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for confirming! Not the easiest thing to get clear answers for when the models are constantly changing. Haha.

I'm using quick jack as well with the frame extensions. The extenders make positioning kind of idiot proof although it is a snug fit under the side skirt.

Wanted to chime in and thank @hhkb for starting this thread. Research from this thread helped me finalize my purchase on a 5000tlx model and I'm happy to report it fits the FL5 perfectly as previously stated. The Quickjack is a game changer! I will note opted for the optional Pinch Weld blocks and they are too short for comfort. As the FL5 pinch welds fit into the seams of these blocks it leaves maybe a mm between the side skirt and frame of the quick jack. Too close for comfort, I'm using the standard large blocks that came with the kit, and they leave more than enough room to feel comfortable.

I got the ZL1 Addons lift pads and they seem to work great on the short Quickjack blocks and the folded over pinch welds on the tall blocks.
