I have a QJ 5000. Well built and all the access you will need under the car. Use your jacking pucks and their blocks make sure you have it squared up under the car, works great. I left my car hanging all winter able to change calipers brakes and lines easily. Great product. Any questions PM me.

I'm also looking into them, seems like everyone is happy with them. Wish they'd do a group buy! Do you think it'll pick up the car high enough to do exhaust work or replace a clutch?

Pretty sure Facebook is trolling me now with the QuickJack ads. This one has a C7 on it. I'd potentially be interested in a group buy if anyone else has interest (and if they'd entertain it).

You note you have the 5000 (5,000lb) model. They also offer a cheaper model that will support 3,500lbs. Wouldn't that be adequate for the Corvette also? Mine's a 2012 GS, which suggests the curb weight is 3,289 to 3,311 lbs.

I was thinking the same thing... which one? Would be interesting to hear from anyone who went with base model (i.e., 3,500 capacity) to see if they regretted not getting the next model-up.
For what it's worth, I hate running anything right up to it's design parameters... 3,289 to 3,311 lbs seems to be pushing right towards the upper-limit. But that said, the manufacturer might artificially keep the upper weight limit a tad low just for liability purposes -- or for marketing/sales considerations. Questions that make one go "Hmmmm????"
I have Quickjack 5000xl. Safe and stable. Park vert over it in garage when not in use. If you are a DIY it is the only way to go. So far it has enabled me to install corsa sport exhaust, brake work, headlight lens replace and oil change. It is one of those tools that will pay for it self over time. I have no regrets and would buy it again. Worth the money. DO IT.
Got one and love it. Ordered it at Carlisle last year , they had a sale with free shipping. Great help when working on the Corvette, or even detailing the Vette.
Do the lift blocks line up with the jack points on the car if pucks are placed on top of the blocks? (3500 Version)
You just need to watch as the lift comes up. I make a check that all is lined up, then hit the button. But being sure of placement is always paramount.

Got the 5000 last month, love it. Wish I would of had it years ago. What JimmyMac said above is important.

Mine is the 5000XL. I use it on my other car too. As well as friends cars. The XL is the perfect length for lining up with the jacking points on the C6 Corvette. Mine is a Z51 so I have to put the jacking blocks on the QuickJack before sliding it under the car.
