Great! because i am going to drop about 1.2 inch all around.
I will update thread when i install it in Sep

You could always go lower and drive the car up on a 2x4 then slide the BL-7000/5000 in from the sides instead of driving over it and pulling it out.

Height of the unit
 

So those of you with the 5000slx, how has it been working out for you ? Also , how tall is the unit when fully collapsed ? My car is lowered and have sideskirts so I'd like to do a measurement before purchasing.

I have the 7000SLX and it's great. I wish I would have bought it a long time ago.

For lowered cars I just sandwiched two 12"x12" peices of 1/2" plywood (1"total height) and use those as a spacer for each tire. Then I slide in the Quickjack from outside the car. It still keep everything small and portable.

My 7000 is 3.5" and the 5000 is 3"collapsed respectively.

I was at about the minimum usable height with a 36mm drop for the 5000slx... Clearance + the required half inch on the lowest blocks. Works really well. I have to lift sideways when doing an alignment to fit between platforms, but its awesome to have.

i have 5000slx and i am dropped 1.2 all around and have sti side skirts as well. no problem at all

it works because the weight is distributed along the whole rail. I would not jack at any point other than the 4 spots with a regular jack or jack stands.
