Default Useful QuickJack accessory

For anyone that has the 5000 or 6000 series QuickJack, the Sport & Compact Drop-In Tray Set fixes the fitment issue for our cars. I bought the 3500SLX over the other options specifically to avoid the fitment issue.

**EDIT**

I believe the older SL and SLX models fit fine. The more recent TL and TLX models are the ones that don't fit quite as well.

Also available for the 7000 and 8000 models. I might have to get a set for my 7000.

Interesting. This must be for newer QJ configurations?

My 5000s are from 2018ish and they fit the car with no added gizmos.

I only get 3/4 of each jacking puck with my 5000 TL (Purchased this year).

Hmmm, that is no good!

Mine is completely within the trays allotted.

I have like 14 inches of usable tray for the pucks at the front and about 10 inches of tray for the puck at the rear.

Seems kinda dumb that they changed what worked lol.

Do you use jacking pucks when using Quick Jack?

Same with mine I purchased 2 years ago. It was fine but took a lot of finessing to get it as good as possible. I made a set of drop in runners out of 2x6's and used some derlin to make "keepers" that won't let the board move side to side and stay in the pockets. Now I get total puck coverage on the vette and when I use it on the truck, it makes lots of frame contact and is rock solid. Cost about 20 bucks-

I purchased mine around the same time as Mr Black. Mine work perfect with no need to have extra pieces. Same with my other vehicles.

I didn't need anything added either, and when I need to lift the vette, I just slide them under without having to raise the car any. (car is slightly lowered)

That’s a great idea. I used my QJ 5000TL on my C7 for an oil change for the first time last week and noticed I couldn’t quite get the car pucks and QJ lifting blocks perfectly centered. They were off by approximately 1/2”. Still worked fine but took a lot of careful placement. Would be nice to have an extra couple of inches of spread to work with. Think I’ll give your idea a try.

Is yours an SL or SLX? I believe the fitment issue is primarily with the TL and TLX models.

The only SLX they still sell is the 3500.

Mine is a 7000 SLX. Fits my Corvette fine with room to spare. I bought the frame extenders that are needed for our Accord and big SUV.

Thanks. I just ordered a set as well to use with my 5000TL. Using it for my C7 which have lifting points just a bit closer than I could adjust the blocks on the QJ for. They were doable, but needed about another 3/4 to 1” of adjustment to get the pucks when attached to the car to fully center up on the QJ lifting blocks.

I did this with some rubber lift blocks. Looks janky but works great. Trimmed a corner off to go over the round bar.

If you're in the market for a QuickJack or accessories for one, this is a good time to buy. Their current 15% off sale matches what they usually do during SEMA which, in my experience, is about the best deal on one, outside the limited models sold thru Costco. Shipping is free. (Note the 5000- and 7000-series QJs have been discontinued.)



I am not affiliated with QuickJack - just passing along the sale info for anyone interested.
