I'll be getting these very soon. My garage has a slight grade/slant to it. If you pour water on the floor, it runs toward the door. Not ridiculously steep...but just enough to allow liquids to want to "head toward the exit". LOL

Would this be an issue with a Quick Jack?
I will be getting mine sometime soon. I really don't think this will be an issue for you. If you want the car level just use a piece (1' X 1' or 2' X 2' ) of 3/4" plywood on the low side and put a level on the jack ( without the car on it ) and test the jack for level . Check with the company prior to doing this and BE SAFE. Test it out so it is stable
Good luck,
Rich

There's a spec in their manuals for the amount of allowable slope. It doesn't have to be perfectly level.
Great product. They are designed to be used on the normal slope of a garage floor.
I used hockey pucks on top of the rubber blocks that came with the quickjack. I didn't put any "locator" screws/eyebolts through the pucks. The car will not move on the pucks.
A creeper is a great addition too. I replaced my x-pipe and exhaust using the quickjack and a creeper.
I started with jack stands as back up until I was comfortable with the integrity of the quickjack. They are bulletproof.

@Vette Ski Seems like you will have had your QuickJack for a couple of months now. How do you like it? Where did you wind up regarding pucks/blocks, etc.? I see the 7000SLX is 3.5" vs the 5000SLX's 3". Still enough clearance for a stock height C7?

I've had the 5000ext for a little over 2 years and used it a lot. It's works great for my c7 z06 and my wife's Camaro. I got the ext because the slx wasn't long enough for the Camaro. It's almost too long for the z06 but it works fine. Short of buying a 2 post lift I think it's the best and safest option out there. I also have several floor jacks and just bought a 2 post lift. There are some things you just can't do when you can only lift the car 20".

Hello,
I purchased the puck kit from Amazon that remain on the car. I then purchased the truck adapter kit from Summit. The puck kit I found to be a bit short. I have to ride up on a few pieces of plywood 3/4 and 5/8 to get enough height to get the jack and higher,(taller) rubber blocks that came with the jack under the car..
