I had bought the 7000 version about 4 years ago and did not like it. There was a variation between left and right both raising and going down. It was minor but I did not like it. It also raises the bottom of the car up by maybe 20” at most which is not enough for doing exhaust/driveshaft/shifter linkage work I was looking to do. Could you do it? You could but it wouldnt be easy. I needed an extra set of hands when doing driveshaft and linkage and there is no way you can have two people fit under quickjack. I also had instances in the past 4 years where I needed to get my 4 ft breaker bar to loosen bolts as well as the big torque wrench. You simply cannot do that stuff under QJ. If you are doing oil change, tires, brakes, its great. But its not as easily portable as it looks. You have to carry 100 lbs x 2 rails, then the pump, connect hoses etc
It was this experience why I returned it and paid a bit more and bought a 4 post lift. I have ceiling restrictions but I can lift the GT350 up to 4th lock which allows me to get under the car sitting down on a creeper and not hit my head anywhere. I later on bought the sliding scissor jack attachment which allows me to lift either front or rear of the car if I need to. I can also use that jack as a way to support/lower things like transmission or full exhaust.
The cost of QJ 7000 when I bought it was $1700-1800. I paid $2400 for the 4 post lift. I paid $800-900 for the scissor attachment. So its $1500 more but well worth it. The lift is far more stable and versatile.
