Hi all. I also owned the EZCarlift but just returned it last month and bought a QuickJack 5000TL. Overall, I liked the EZCarlift and it worked great on my Alfa Romeo Spider. When I tried it on the Pantera, I saw that it was bending quite a bit which didn't give me confidence in it. The owner, Boytcho, is fantastic to deal with and he was willing to take it back for a refund minus shipping. I was impressed with him and his customer service but in the end I didn't feel it was right for me. I used the proper factory lift points. None-the-less the back section of the lift was bending on both sides. See attached photos. Boytcho told me that the bending is within safety tolerances but I was not comfortable with it. He was very easy to deal with and took it back no problem.
Larry, I noticed in your photos you don't have the engine installed. I found that the rear weight of the Pantera with the engine in place really stressed the back part of the EZCarlift. With the QuickJack 500TL, which has 3" more lift than the previous 5000 version I found the Pantera lifted easily with no bending of the lift platform.
Both are good products overall. For me the QuickJack worked out better. No matter which lift I'm using I always place some Esco jackstands under the car as well when I'm under it : ) Mike R.
