Lifting with a Quickjack

[bdc101]

Hi all, I am considering a new Mazda purchase and trying to decide between the 50 and the 70/90. I'm trying to figure out if my Quickjack will work with it. I have read that CX-5s are short enough to fit on them, but CX-70 and CX-90s are way too long. I know the CX-50 is a bit longer than the CX-5 so I was curious if anyone has used it.

I have the 5000TL model with the frame extensions that have 66 inches between the jacking points. Has anyone tried a quickjack, or if not has anyone measured the distance between the jacking points? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Yes I use my 5000 on my cx50. It is just a hair sort to make the pinch rail lift points, but it will lift on the pinch rail. The only thing I noticed is the inner ends of the upper pivots on the jack that stick out past the lifting trays push up on the plastic under covers. There is nothing under the covers for them to damage so I just let them push the under cover up. I may try adding an inch spacer to see if that eliminates the problem, I don't like compressing the plastic. I measured 60" c/l to c/l on the lift points.
I don't know why they wouldn't lift the longer cars, you just need to be able to center them front to rear under the car.
