QuickJack Lift System

Having to use blocks and adjusting multiple times defeats the purpose of having a jacking system like this for me. PS, now you have 3 reasons why I hate you.

LMAO

For what this lift system costs I feel it is a great bargain. Look around and the next step up cost over $2500.

The lift height should be good enough to do most things under the car. Major operations such as a transmission removal may not be a good idea using these but then again I have done a lot with a floor jack and jack stands. I dropped the transmission out of my 1969 Volvo 142S by parking the car on the curb. I was much younger (and smaller) then....

Cars such as my Fiat 124 Spider is so low to the ground that it can be a big pain in the back working under the hood. Getting the car up will help save my back. The Fiat sits so low that right now I have to jack it up by the bumper to get it high enough for most floor jacks to get under it.

Here is reason number 4.......

I'm sure this lift system could handle it just as well as the jack stands. I have dropped the Z transmission on jack stands in my garage. I don't recommend it, and I probably would never do it again. But totally doable provided you don't need to pull the transmission completely out from under the car.

I pulled the trans out of my son's Z32, it cost me 4 stitches in my thumb and a screwdriver I imbedded in the wall of the garage, when the trans fell off the jack. Fortunately, it was only about 4 inches to the ground, my thumb broke most of the fall...


But, back on topic: It looks like a pretty solid system to do some simple things, like oil changes.
BGTV8, JARblue and YzGyz like this.
