The key difference is in the lifting capacity and physical size (length mostly) of the models. Quick Jacks come with different lifting pads and you align these with the shipping slots. Ideally, you use pucks in those slots, but it depends on whether you have enough clearance. I got the 7k pound quick jacks so that I can also lift my other cars and SUV. It works great and I leave my Vette raised on them for weeks at a time (always with the hydraulic unit plugged in). No issues at all and super easy!
