Quick Jack by Bendpak/Ranger, Jack points that might work with this?

Has anyone tried one of these yet:

I purchased the BL-3500 thinking that it would be perfect to lift up my 996 turbo. We can argue about weight margin later. It seems like plenty to lift up that car.

 

The issue becomes the lift point locations on the car. The BL-3500 can only reach out to 46" between its rubber stops.

 

If one was to purchase the BL-5000 it only reaches about 51" maximum. I've measured 54" center to center of the 996 lift points. This seems like it makes this product a no go with 996/986 and 997/987 owners.

 

Does anyone have any advice that would provide good placement for other spots under the car that can be used to hoist it up inside of the 46" limits.

 

Or have I been shortsighted and wasted my time? It all seemed like it would be perfect.

 

Cheers,

Todd
