<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I bought a used 3500# QJ. I have not tried it with my TR3, but use it all the time with my FP Miata, which is quite low. It fits between the tires with a few inches clearance. The TR4 wheelbase is about an inch shorter than the Miata. I know that it fits between the tires on my TR4, since I have stored one jack under there. Is the 5000# QJ longer than the 3500# one? If so, that may be an issue for you.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">It works out very well, but I have had one minor issue. The wheels at one end of each jack unit are hard plastic and I have already broken a couple of them. When I get a chance, I will make some out of aluminum or steel.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">One other inconvenience is that when lifted, you can only access the center underside of the car from the front or back. Can't just scoot under the side. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">The Miata gets lifted from the pinch welds. I bought some extra rubber blocks that fit around the pinch welds. These same rubber blocks can also be used under the TR frame. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I have seen QJs used in the paddock, so one advantage is that it is portable enough to take to the track, provided that you have a generator or access to power at the track.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Joe B</div><div><br></div>

<div>I don’t have enough space to install a conventional lift in my garage so
instead I’m considering buying a Quick Jack lift either in 3500 or 5000 pound
capacity. I have an IRS TR4A. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Questions:</div>
<div>If you have a QJ what lifting capacity do you have? </div>
<div>If 5000# does it fit easily under the car (tell me what Triumph you
have)?</div>
<div>Pros and cons realizing that a 4 post or 2 post is not feasible for
me.</div>
<div>Any best deals that you’ve found? Currently Costco seems to have a good
price on the 5000# unit.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks. looking for feedback.</div>
