Thanks for the post, GS. I can jack and safely stand my car in about 4 minutes, so I was looking for a comparison with that bench mark.

Your a quicky
I have a really tight garage and getting my car up on 4 jack stands was a pain. Doesn't help that I have a bum back too. But hell if I could do it in 4 minutes I would have never bought the Quick Jacks.

I just finished assembling my Quickjack and my question is , would it be best for the rubber blocks to go under the pinch welds or in the pocket area where you would put a jack stands. It looks like the block could fit it the rear pocket but not the front. Mine is an 85. Not sure if it’s any different in later C-4’s.
Thanks again

I would think you could use the rubber blocks underneath the pinch welds. I use the above pictured puck with a slot cut in it to cradle the pinch welds. I set this on top of the rubber blocks for extra clearance. I dont have a C4 but this works great on my wife’s RX350.

I stick the blocks under the pinch welds. I did the same thing with my jack stands under the pinch welds.

with this. Anything else (like the puck in the pic) is more likely to crush the 'glass rocker panel.

Works great on my C7 as and my 2010 Avalanche. No issues at all

Thanks again guys. I’ll use the pinch welds

I've been looking for something like this, did you purchase or make them?

TorchRed427

I purchased them on eBay.

Jackzap

Well, I finally got all set up and it works great. I placed the large rubber blocks just inside the jacking points on the pinch welds to avoid touching the valance. Hopefully this is ok. Just a little close to the fuel lines, but doesn’t touch when block is compressed alittle. Also is it normal for the rear tires to toe in while in the air. I imagine this is cause of the independent suspension. All in all , real happy with the Quickjack. I’m glad I finally bought it.
Thank you all for you input

TorchRed427

Glad you have it all set up. Yes, the IRS is causing the angle of the wheels once off the ground, but it should look more like a positive camber angle and not a toe in angle.

Thank you...wrong terminology on my end

Congrats

Just did my second oil change on my 2015 C7 with quick Jack. Very simple to align they move easy on the cement floor takes all of 5 minutes to set it up and start lifting. Here is a link to the pucks I bought. They stay in all the time. I added some silicone per instructions. https://www.southerncarparts.com/corvette-lock-leave-jacking-pads-pucks-p-5762.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw-OHkBRBkEiwAoOZql6nsm7BU3dGIc2FBZIHLFe5VK QIXlQ7rw9V8iAGeyLdton96kp_rhRoCZxQQAvD_B wE

Is additional support required for safety? I wouldn't want the car to fall on me.

EricC7

No additional support is required. It locks in place. It's rock solid doesn't shake side to side and you can actually get in the car and start it up if you want without letting it down on the lift.

Jackzap

Glad to hear it’s also working for you. I agree very simple to set up. My only concern on the C4 is placing the lifting blocks. I’ve see some posts on the forum where they placed the blocks at the jacking points, but my valance is about an 1/8” lower than the pinch welds and I’m afraid the valance may crack while being pushed up. I did move the lift in alittle and used the pinch welds behind the front tire and in front of the rear tires. Any thoughts or comments on this would be appreciated
Thank you

Fine. Totally fine. Anywhere on the steel frame is fine. The frame is way stronger, than strong enough any where along it's length. People totally over think this to death.

Jackzap

Thank you, I need to stop overthinking also.
