Anyone on this Forum using this Ranger Quick Jack System.....I'm looking for something like this and after watching the videos I'm really interested. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this product. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm interested as well, this looks great.

Would be a nice solution without being permanent. Prices ?

I like the lock bars.

I like the concept a lot. But wonder if / how it would align to the C7 jack points / pucks. Anyone see a price?

Here are photos of a C7 on this lift....I haven't found the price yet....looks like I'll need to write or call for the price. I was hoping that someone here already was using this jack.

I've used mine several times and it works great.

bout 1300 for the corvette one which supposedly lines up perfect with c7s

I'm seriously considering this jack too. Two questions for those that own one. Each lift mechanism looks to be fairly narrow and there's no cross bracing between the two lifts; how solid is the lateral stability? And do the quick disconnect fittings leak?

Chuck Mahnke

I have the BL-5000. It is 11" wide and is very stable. The quick fittings do not leak once they are connected. I keep a small shop towel under the fitting when I connect or disconnect as there will always be a small amount of fluid that comes out of the connector when working with them.

Also, the included rubber pads line up perfectly with the jack pads attached to the car.

Same here, at first look it appears too light but it works great. If you are just doing small jobs, tires, brakes, detailing etc I think you will be happy with one of these units.

Thanks for that info. Anyone think a group buy is possible?

I bought my BL-5000 about 2mo ago and it is great. I haven't had a chance to put my Z/28 up on it yet because my wife cracked up her Beetle backing out of the garage, so that's been up on it for a few wks while I sourced parts. It is very sturdy and I wouldn't hesitate to work under it. Unlike the C6/C7 (and for those who may use them their other vehicles), the Beetle and the Z/28 have pinch welds as their lifting points, and the supplied rubber blocks hold up to them fine without any adapters needed.

Thanks Chuck. That's what I needed to know.

I contacted the company about the possibility of a Group Buy Discount. Unfortunately the answer was no. Bummer...

I plan to order one in April or May.

Thanks for your comments....I will be pursuing one of these.

DocHolliday

A group buy would have been great, too bad. Really interested in one of these - I need to measure my car and see that it will fit under the skirts with it lowered all the way on stock bolts.

For a tad bit more get a real lift

If I were in the market for a real lift I'd get the one below. Watch the videos to see quality differences:

The advantage I see to the QuickJack, it's easy to store it out of the way.

2-pole lifts can have their problems. Here's one example of one of the two poles giving way:

I thought about one of these, but then you're getting close to the cost of a full-size lift, plus $2k vs $1300 is a decent difference in price, and you have to drill holes in your floor (and make sure you have adequate thickness) for the MaxJax. My garage actually has a very high ceiling, but even when considering a used full-size 4-post lift, I had to add the cost of getting it to my house, assembly, electrical (if it needed 220v), and raising my garage door runners and lift. I also planned on buying a really nice low extended floor jack ($300) to replace my ****** aluminum Craftsman, but got the BL-5000 instead.

What really sealed the QuickJack for me was that if/when I get a full-size 4-post lift, I can still use the QuickJack to get the car in the air (up off the ramps) instead of buying a couple pricey bridge jacks.

Once locked in position can the cables be disconnected for storage? Re-connect cables and lower when ready to move car again?

I'm thinking of using this outside under a carport for winter storage allowing me to remove and bring the wheels and tires inside?

Would that work?
