OptimusPriM5 is on a distinguished road
I was the Beta tester with QJ for the 7000EXT. I cancelled an order with them because the 5000 I ordered was not long enough to service my fleet. The VP sales reached out and helped me design/create an extended version to service my German and other marques. I just gave away the ramps about 2 weeks ago to a fellow enthusiast.

While they worked well Ill be honest 2 things forced me to move on; they were annoying to store and heavy/challenge to maneuver on anything except concrete. 2nd I needed extra space in garage so I bought a 4 post for work and storage. I also did have a portable mid rise lift for the other bay as well for smaller jobs, have had this for over 10 years. The 4 post has paid for itself for me already just for 1 cars worth of work and I have used it for a bunch of jobs over last 3 years.

Regarding 2 post lifts I seriously considered them but my issue was I wanted extra storage PLUS I was not confident my production built homes garage floor could support the load required.

No doubt I would love to have the ability to work upright under my cars on a proper lift. My house has a room above the garage so my ceiling height is limited.

With my X at full height on my QJ with 6" truck adapters, I less than 1" clearance to the roll up garage door.

For me the QJ gives me the best option in my garage.
