The build quality is as good as you can find and I never feel unsafe underneath it. Plus, it lifts and retracts very quickly. It is more than your budget, but I think for the quality and portability, it was worth it for me.

Agree 100%. I would take the MD-6XP any day over the QuickJack, the extra height makes all the difference and you can easily park over the top of it or store it away when not needed.

However, if there are decent options for 2 post lifts in smaller garages now a days. Bendpak also do the Grand Prix series which as you can see below are able to fit into most garages.

Personally, I have the GP-7LCS (got it through the Bendpak site) and use a mechanics chair for comfort. Works well for me.

You can just drill a small hole to test the thickness and refill after, if needed. Probably the easiest way.
