Default QuickJack arrived

If you guys are on the fence about one of these QuickJacks, just pull the trigger! It is very well built and stable even more than I thought. $999 at Costco right now. It was shipped to my door in 4 days. This will get a lot of use!

People say you can use just the blocks but I have leave in pucks so I use the short blocks with pucks. By looking at it, I don’t think you would have to use the pucks.

I got these on Amazon and they are the exact same as the ones from ZL1 Addons. Very nice.

I assume you have to move it out of the way when leaving/entering the garage otherwise your tires roll over it?

Yes you do. Each rail has wheels on one end. It also comes with side handles to maneuver it side to side.

I am so close to pulling the trigger on this exact same model. Good to see the positive reviews.

I leave mine under the car full-time. Just push them in to the middle and there's more than enough clearance for the car to go over and around without driving on them.

Happy here too! 5000 SLX. Just used it to take off my wheels for a tire change. I wanted to take the weights off myself to avoid potential scratches.

Is it worth a thousand dollars? Is it a lot more "worth it" than buying the long Race Ramps? Does it require jack stands (for safety reasons) if you want to crawl under the car when changing oil, etc., etc.?

Thank you!

I would say yes. i love my quick jacks. One thing i like vs race ramps is it's a one stop shop. you can change tires, oil, etc all by just one lift. Race ramps don't give you the flexibility of getting the tires off the ground.

Also with quick jacks they have built in jack stands at 2 points. you lift then up to the first or 2nd point on the quick jack and then back it down a bit. this puts the weight onto the jack stands vs the hydraulic lift.

If it is hydraulic, does that mean it requires some kind of compressed air system to function or is it merely electric where you plug it into the wall? I like the way they "store" by hanging on the wall of a garage. That would be very handy for me because I only have a one-car garage and already have shelving, racks, etc., etc., that take up space.

I definitely need to look into a set of these things.
