I am working with a not so good back. Once delivered, how hard is it to drag the box in the garage for assembly and how hard is it to move the individual lifts around for use on the cars? Thanks

I'm assuming that you guys bought the 120 volt motor? If so, what is the amperage draw of the 120 v motor? Thanks

I put a red duct tape box on the floor over the C7. The jacks fit in the box. The box has a couple lines that extend directly through center to start of driveway, and end of effective driveway where it ends in a large T. Drive in on the front camera and alight car perfectly as if taxiing up to a jetway. Adjust as necessary for final position.
Normal height C7 with shorter QJ blocks won’t hit the frame when fully lowered nor when the C7 pucks are installed.
Takes some effort to pull them from the middle to outsides but there’s a tool for that. Then raise slightly to close and do final position on square blocks. Done

For you guys that have one of these cool jacks, please post some pics of your car on them.
...and so to work on anything under ther car, you have to lay on the ground?

I would buy a mechanics creeper vs laying on the ground...the Quick jack lifts the car about 20" off of the ground I believe

The 5000 lifts the car high enough that you can use a creeper. I use one inch jacking pucks and the small rubber pads that came with the unit and this combo just barely clears between the puck and pad. I have a 2017 Grand Sport. Love this jack. Much better than floor jacks and stands.

Lower height to take wheels off.
High lock point for work underneath. You can see tool used to pull them out from underneath the center of car.
Just before doing the CAGS eliminator. I can get on my side while on the on the creeper under the car.
