But oil changes, wheel changes, etc it's going to be great. Thinking of a couple ramps to use with my ATV too.
That bites. I just got a set of side skirts and was going to get this to help install it. Guess I will rethink it. I don't do my own oil changes, not sure I really see the value and just rotating tires with other cars.

Very interesting- it looks like the manufacturer changed the packaging of the 7000 since I bought one in 2016. Advertised as portable, the "old" box showed a man carrying one unit under each arm- I think not unless you are built like a weightlifter. Your packaging shows the more realistic method of transporting these by pulling them, and even at that moving both at once would be a challenge for some folks- they are heavy.

I agree, the salesman said that each lift weighs about 70+lbs. There was a time when I could have carried one around, but those days have long passed. I do love them though. doesn't take much time to get them set up and the car in the air.

Default QuickJack BL-7000EXT

I recently purchased these and I am very happy. I needed the 7000 for my Silverado LTZ which weights 7007 pounds. Before purchased, I discovered I also needed the EXT version for my wife's Lexus, it is pinch-weld and the jacking points are 62 inches apart.

They are heavy to move, each 7000EXT frame weights 101 pounds. They would be very difficult to move without the wheels.

I have had both the Silverado and the Lexus up on them for oil changes and they are very stable. I have not had the GS on them yet, but will soon to install ceramic brake pads.

The motivation to purchase these was for oil changes on the GS. The car must be level to get all of the oil out of the dry sump system.

Did you get the 110 or 220v option? Curious if the 110v strains at all?

I have the 110v and it has no problem with the Corvette, haven't tried it on the Grand Cherokee yet, but don't anticipate any problems.

I have both 110V and 220V available and opted for the 110V and it works fine even on my pickup.
