I like them. Not sure on the cost. If I am going to buy something, it would need to be frame supported so the tires can be removed for brakes, rotation, etc.

I would bet you could slide them under the frame using the jacking pads as places to position them. They would be alot more solid than my crappy old lack stands.

Kind of looks like a pain to have to jack up each wheel several times depending on the height you want.

I had a neighbor with a Kwiklift. I'm sure some people like it, but when I saw it and what was involved in using it, I wasn't interested. This could be useful depending on your circumstances, although I wonder why the big secret regarding pricing such that you have to email for further information.

My thoughts exactly. They are interesting and should be substantially less expensive than the light I've been looking at. I agree if you could use them on the jacking pucks or jacking points they would be even more usesful.

That's for kwiklift not the lift stands. The stands you have to email for the price info.

Default Question for Navyblue - don't mean to hijack thread

I see that the Quickjack's lowered height is 3"; do you use the included rubber blocks when lifting, or use jacking pucks? Is your car lowered at all?

I have the leave in plastic BMW style jacking pucks. I also use the shorter rubber lifting blocks along with the pucks. You really don't need the pucks, but I'm to lazy to that them off. Yes my car is lowered and usually what I do when storing the "Quickkjack" I slide the jacks under the car from the side. I don't drive over them because the front spoiler just barley clears the lift.

OK the lift stand guy got back to me. This is his reply.


Hi,



I am currently out of stock until mid-February. The price for a pair (2 stands) is $265.00, shipping is not included. A zip code is needed to quote the shipping. If you’re interested in placing an order, send me your billing/shipping information. I will then email a paypal invoice that is payable with most any major credit card, or you may send a check by mail. The order will be shipped after payment is received.





∙ Lift Stands are made of 12ga. steel and have a black durable powder coat finish.

∙ A lift stand dimensions are 12”wd. x 18”lg. x 8"high. The extended height is 14 inches.

∙ The inside section of the top tire pan is 11"x11"x 1.5" deep.

∙ The locking pins are spring loaded, and made with .375 inch stainless steel.

∙ One stand weighs 35 lbs. with a maximum load rating of 2000 lbs.

∙ Four stands will support an 8,000 lbs. vehicle.

∙ Any floor jack that is less than 12 inches wide can be used.

∙ Warranty is 1 year on product to be free from physical defects in material and workmanship.
