Hey all. Information is trickling in from BendPak concerning the new, larger QuickJack. The BL-5000 QuickJack from Ranger Products is basically a beefed up version of the BL-3500 with some minor design changes as well. Its dimensions are slightly larger as is its capacity (5,000 lbs). It is set to start shipping in early June. They are still working on pricing, shipping costs and some other things but the specs are out. From what I have heard pricing should be around $1295.00. If you would like to be kept in the loop shoot me an email taylor@bimmertools.com and I will add you to the list. We have had a great response to the 3500 lbs. unit which should be shipping in the next couple weeks. We will be sure to post a full review once ours arrives.

I'm interested in getting one when it's available. Will there be a group buy deal or special re-introduction price?
