Love mine! There is a learning curve for using them. The must be PARALLEL when you raise them or they can bind and come down uneven or stick. I have the 12 volt 5000xl and its great to be able to use it anywhere, I power mine with a lawn tractor battery.

Really that doesn't look like a bad price at all for those after seeing just what they want for 2 ramps and you still can't do much with them anyway with the wheels on them.
Will they stand upon their end after they are collapsed for easier storing?
I wonder if they go high enough to do a clutch install. I guess you could just jack the car more and put blocks on top of the lift.

They really seem like they go pretty high but again I wonder if you can do a clutch or headers with them. Not considering doing that yet but just wondering. I do really like them though with the wheels clear and all. They would obviously save a lot of tedious jacking

I store mine upright, with the pump under my work bench. Mike[/QUOTE
Man they really go flat too for storage, I'm getting the wants, what size did you say they were?

I saw this thing at the last SEMA show and I was quite impressed. Had this been available several years ago, I would have gotten this over my Kwik Lift which overall I am satisfied with.

I really like my Quick Jack!!. I bought the middle one and its good for the Yukon and Z-71 short bead pickup and the C5. I store mine under the large lay out bench I have in my shop with enough clearance to allow both bases to push in from the driveway. View their use and safety tests on You-Tube. It, also fits under the car when we trailer my friends Drag C6. Great buy, I think.

I raised my car up just shy of the max spec that their site is listing and cleared the transaxle/torque tube assy easily when a I changed the clutch a year ago. It looks like it will work.
