So this Vevor air bag jack in its deflated position is about an eighth of an inch to a quarter of an inch too tall to fit under the Emira jack pad. I think the three-quarter of an inch rubber pad that comes on the airbag jack could be replaced for a shorter rubber pad so it would work.

"If you can't raise the bridge, lower the river".

Just drive the Emira up on to 1 or 2 inch tall storage blocks like these or similar. Or make your own. Should work, right?

When I took the car off the lift I realized the crossbeam would have worked better in the back with no need for toe in. It would mean the lift would be closer together though.

This is specific to the 6000 ELX

I went ahead and purchased some Race Ramps Scale Ramps. I figured they would be handy for jacking low ground clearance vehicles and make it easier to drive up on my scales.

By the way, this is the lower QJ setting, with about 11 inches from underfloor to ground. Full height is about 24 inches of access.

Mine are the 67" low-profile set. When spaced properly for the front wheels, the Emira has clearance between the ramps and front splitter.

Nothing special about Schwaben name. They are probably identical construction to RaceRamps or Megan Racing products as well.

I have just read through this whole thread…. What is the consensus for the best fitting Quickjack in regards to the Emira. Buy the 5000TL or the 5000TLX? Or is there another brand that seems to fit even better for the Emira?

are you buying ONLY for Emira use, or for other cars as well?

Mostly for Emira…. But would like to use with Maserati Levante and a AMG C43. All under the 5000lb limit.
