Default Quickjack suv adapter and c3

For those who have quickjack. Merry Christmas to me suv adapter set to use as needed.
what i found out was on my c3 YMMV…the half suv adapter lets me just fit under my car.
the bonus is it does not squish like the block and it fits taller than the largest block goving me ~2 more inches of lift or more 👍.

i can now turn sideways on my creeper without touching bottom

built solid too..

That's interesting. I discovered that I need to use the thicker of the two rubber blocks to allow the central cross-member to clear the Quick-Jack frame.
But, I do have to be careful about overhead clearance - OK for the car, but tricky to get the hood open fully!

I also use the taller of the two supplied blocks and have no issue with em squishing. Show us a pic of the adapter you are using. I can't tell what it is in place.

Ymmv on fitting under..
i used the large block previously..the short extension is 4.5 and does not squish..
it was perfect size to fit under and gain lift.
all the blocks squish and although they say you can stack blocks…dont do it..mine folded and flung out..

Thanks interpon.

I have long tube Hooker Headers on one of my cars and it is always a bit of a trick to lift that car without the Quick Jack frame hittiing the header tubes before the tall rubber blocks make enough contact to lift the car from the frame - so I was standing the tall rubber blocks the longest / tallest direction. Seemed to work okay but this is a safer lifting option. The extra 2" height from the half SUV adaptor is a great solution.
