Needless, use mine twice a month at a minimum. Maybe I just work on my cars more than others.
Honestly getting the G80 up on jack stands is what pushed me to get the Quickjacks. This car is such a pain in the ass to get on two stands. Earlier this month I spent like 45 minutes trying to get my car OFF jack stands because my jack decided it no longer wanted to pump as high, meanwhile the car is slowly wiggling its way closer to the edge of the jack-pad every time I lifted and lowered the car trying to get the stands out. That event was enough to buy the Quickjacks lol.

I miss my Mustang where I could just buy a jack rail that went along the entire side of the car so you could jack from anywhere.,,

I really wanted to get the quickjack and nearly did for my exhaust system install, but I couldn’t justify having to by the 6000 to fit the G80, and it being too long for any other car. The frames are pretty costly too, as I looked into the option of buying the smaller frames for other cars.

Just came across this photo on garage journal, guy I know over there had borrowed a set and he made a comment on them and someone posted their G21 on them. I did not think of lifting mine that way so I am going to try it out.

I may reconsider a built in lift down the road, but the Quick Jacks have been a solid investment for the last ~5yrs or so for me. I still have a floor jack and a pair of stands when I don’t need to fully lift the car off the ground.

Just used to do an oil change on the 36.

It looks like you may have done the research for me!

5000TL - but I bought the extender for the SUV's. This works on the Acura I had - and as you can see, the Genesis. Home Depot online had the cheapest price for the extenders

For my friends XM3, I needed to turn them sideways...but still worked.

The extenders wont work for a G80. Turning sideways is an issue if you want to do exhaust things, access to the center of the car, etc.
