Like the title says - is anyone using one of the Bendpak Quickjacks for their W204?

Their site indicates that it's 3.5" tall when lowered so I'm wondering if our cars are a practical application for one of these?

I'm also Considering a MaxJax, but don't really feel like cutting my existing garage floor and pouring new piers/footers simply for the dozen or so times a year I would use it.

edit: I have a 2013 PP with completely stock suspension

 

I just got them for my w211, awesome tool. Had to get extenders because of how far apart the jack points were. I’d double check that on your w204 before buying. As for the height, they aren’t too tall. I’d say 4.5-5inchs with the jack pucks on the QuickJacks (without the extenders). If anything you can drive up on a some wood planks and put the QuickJacks underneath?

 

thank you! that's helpful info. I was actually considering getting the longer version anyways because my wife and I both drive body-on-frame SUVs with a longer wheelbase.

Embarrassingly, I had not considered driving up on a few 2x10" blocks to give some additional clearance

 

Yes. Get the SLX version. They are great. No you’re not too low. My car is slammed and gets over it no problem.

Yep, I have it and it works great. Make sure you get the SLX version as mentioned above and you will need the extenders if you have a sedan, assuming the wheelbase is shorter on the coupe, idk.

 

thanks for the info.

the BL7000-SLX is listed as having a lifting point spread of 29.5" to 60" with an overall length of 71"
the BL7000-EXT is listed as having a lifting point spread of 37.5" to 66" with an overall length of 76"

our other cars are a 4Runner and a GX460 and I'd like to ensure it would be functional for all three vehicles.

time to head out to the garage with a tape measure.

 

I have the 5000-SLX which I originally bought for my 370z due to it's short wheelbase. Thankfully, it just barely covers the lift points on a W204 sedan. Had the lift points been any further apart, it would have been a no go, as the extensions add to the collapsed height and probably would not clear, especially with the lift blocks/pucks in place.

I do have the extensions, which I needed for our Land Rover Discovery. In hindsight, the EXT probably would have been a better fit, as I probably won't be getting a short wheelbased vehicle for a very long time.
