Question for quickjack users. SLX vs EXT for 2nd gen Firebird? The "lift spread" that seems ideal to me would be about 64". I think the 60" would work but having up to 66" may be better. Has anyone gotten the SLX and later wished they had the EXT??

EDIT: Well, right after I posted this I went back to the website and they had just put up a summer sale on the 5000 SLX for $250 off. They make an extension to increase the spread to 66" that sells for $250, so even if I end up getting that it will still cost less than the 5000 EXT. So order placed.

https://www.quickjack.com/car-lifts/bl-5000ext/

SLX minimum lift point spread: 31.5"
EXT minimum lift point spread: 37.5"

SLX maximum lift point spread: 60"
EXT maximum lift point spread: 66"

SLX overall frame length: 70"
EXT overall frame length: 76.5" (5000EXT model only)
