Don't forget that you will still need enough room between the frame of the QuickJack and the lift point to squeeze in the adapters. If the car is lowered, there isn't much you can do to gain extra lift.
The frame of the lift is only 11 inches wide. I think it might be easier to use a couple of 2x12's under the QuickJack than spending >$200 on the SUV adapters, assuming you can do that and still have room to install the rubber blocks. Then again, each piece of the 5000SLX weighs 80 pounds, so not so easy to get it up on the 2x12's.
The other trick using this for an engine drop is the car doesn't go straight up. As the lift unfolds, it looks like the car will move backwards about 12 inches. So you've got to be able to slide the engine backwards on a jack or small lift as the car is rising.
