The cheapo Torin 2 Ton floor jack I bought a long time ago (for my A4) is not tall enough for my 2015 Q7. That has left me chancing my life using the "widow-maker" Audi Q7 OEM emergency kit jack. Not ideal, I know. (At least I have wised up and got some wheel blocks.)

Are folks using a bottle jack? Or a floor jack? Any recommendations? (Or knowledge of what max lifting height I should be looking for?) I'd rather not use a 'long neck' as shown by the 3-Ton Torin model...

I am thinking of going for this " " version - which goes up to 20.5"? Should be good, right? (I'd like one jack for the TT, A4 and Q7.)

Do you have air suspension by chance? I've always just put my suv's in load mode, then locked the suspension and then lifted them.

No suspension. Just a simple Q7.

Gotcha, I know you don't like the long neck, but if you get the one you posted its low enough to be able to roll under the TT you have on order. Something to think about. Other than that, just get a 3 ton or 3.5 ton jack and be done with it! If you're feeling really froggy, you could walk outside and measure from the ground to the frame rail (well unibody catch) and see how high that is, then add 5 inches for suspension lift when you jack it up to remove the tire.

Gotcha. And, thanks for the link. My driveway isn't level, but it seems the frame rail is somewhere between 11" and 13". So, the 20" lift should work. Thanks for your help.
