Which model did you order? The 5000 SLX Or 5000 EXT?

price seem steep.

Worth it to me to make raising the car less work.

I've been kicking around the idea of buying one too.

The FWD and AFT jack points are almost exactly 66" apart, so I'm leaning towards the EXT.
You could probably get away with the 60" model and just cheat the aft blocks (most of the weight will be up front), but I'm not keen on jacking up the car on anything other than the designated locations.

Another option, if you can find the SLX for cheap, is to spend $240 and buy the extension SLX Frame Extensions
Hell, as simple as they look I'd probably just make my own for $20 worth of steel.

more than a 1000 USD wooooot! I can barely afford my fake Kia badges! But seriously one of these would be cool to have so many things you can do with it.

I've decided to go with the EXT model. Waiting to hear back regarding a military discount

I borrowed a friend's QuickJack for some work on my GT1. He's got the 5000 SLX for his Miata, but also has the extension frames to fit his Lexus GX.
The Stinger is a deceivingly long car. The lift points are pretty far apart. Anyway lifting up the Stinger was no problem with the QuickJacks and extension frames. The support blocks didn't quite make it perfectly inside the marked lift points, but they sat just at the edge or right inside the points on the pinch weld. The blocks definitely missed the cut outs in the side skirts, but they're plastic and just bend out of the way without harm for the short term it was up in the air.
In short, it is absolutely worth the investment to have a car lifted this high, this easily so that working underneath it isn't a huge PITA. I would go for the long frame version 5000-EXT minimum, otherwise you're going to be lifting further outside (closer to center) of the lift points. If you want to go 100% inside the lift points, the 6000-EXT model has the length needed, but it is a few hundred dollars more.

I called and was given the Mil discount on top of the sale that was happening. My online quote wasn’t as good. Ended up getting the 6000
