I just purchased one last week. It's on sale for $250 off. I purchased the 5000 SLX based on other advice here and it works great. Some folks have said it doesn't save much time, but even just a few times I've run it (two test and one for real use), it's easier. With mine, I would have to run the floor jack four times - front first to get it on the front stands, then rear, then front again to get it higher on the stands, then rear, each time moving to all 4 corners to adjust the stands. Reverse all that when taking it down. That hardest part about the QJ is wrestling each side into position. Once they are there, it's a one-button raise. After it locks in place, it's rock solid. Plus I feel like I have more room underneath. The only downside (aside from cost) is that it closes off the sides to using a creeper. You need to get under it from the front or back. But I'm OK with that, and once the tires are off you can still slip under the sides where the wheels are.
About to purchase a 5000LT set and hoping they'll work for all my cars. Seems most say they'll fit under the S2k.
I need to go measure just to make sure they'll have enough MIN. and MAX. spread to lift them all.. The SS1LE is the one I'm worried about for max lift point spread.
I'm looking at getting these but wondering about the minimum height requirements. It says they support a ground clearance as low as 3.5", however it also says:
Keep in mind that there must be some space between QuickJack and your vehicle’s lifting points. If your car's lift points are resting flush on a fully-lowered QuickJack, the frames will be unable to generate enough force to lift the vehicle.
The lifting tabs on my S where the QJ is supposed to go are sitting at a cool exact 3.5" from the ground equal to the minimum QJ ground clearance. So it might not be able to lift the car, or maybe it will because the S is quite a bit lighter than the QJ weight capacity?
Would really suck if the car needs to be driven onto ramps first anyways because of this, kind of negating the point of easy and quick jacking.
Anybody got some experience with the QJ on pretty low S2000s?

I've watched many vids and some just build a two piece progressive double stack of ply wood to drive up on.
Or a really low set of "race ramps". It wouldn't be too bad to do.
Got my car raised on my QJ right now so can't check but I think minimum gap is lower than recommended, never had any issues raising it though.
Here is a picture on my ride height.
Well, ya'll know me and how I seem to like to shoot video of everything. I watched a bunch of QuickJack vids on YouTube prior to purchase and set up, but didn't see one that really went into step by step detail of the instructions and set up.
So, here it is. Crudely done with lots of boring talking and mumbling but it's here, none the less. lol
