I have the 3500 model that I use on my 1959 TR3A and 1966 TR4A. I chose the=
 3500 model over the 5000 model for three reasons. =C2=A0First it slides ri=
ght in between the front and rear wheels. Second, it fits the frame jacking=
 areas very well, and third, the jacks are a lot lighter in weight than the=
 5000 jacks. I have the factory storage hooks on my wall, and they stow wit=
hout any real effort. Did I mention that they are much lighter:)
=C2=A0I had to order the 35000 model from the factory because the big box s=
tores do not seem to carry them.=C2=A0Alex
