Default C7 Vette and "Quickjack"

Has anyone purchased a "Quickjack" hydraulic jack, and which model did you get? How do you like it?

I have the 5000 model. My c6 and then my c7 had leave in place pucks that I used for the rubber blocks the quick jack comes with. I did fill exhaust on both cars with it and it made it very easy to get the car up and down

QuickJack 5,000-LB Capacity Portable Car standard size no extra stuff. works fantastic, takes some time to setup but once its all done pushing a button to go up and down is the cool part.

I have one on the way from HomeDepot. I plan to do all my own maintenance on the Corvette since it's pricey to pay someone to do it. I bought the standard 5000 model based on research.

Yes, there have been a number of threads/posts about the QuickJack product. Good addition for a garage, especially if a full size lift is not feasible.

I just bought the 7000 pound version from Costco here in Canada.
Here is the link.

I cannot say enough good things about this system. it's simple, well designed and above all SAFE!
I have about 1.5 inches clearance between my stock ride height C7 with rubber jacking pucks installed and the short blocks on the jack.

The only other comment is regarding the hydraulic fluid. It says you can use ISO32 or ATF. Do yourself a favor and use ISO32. It has next to no smell, where the ATF stinks to high heaven

Question for the Qwick Jack 5000 users: How do you get the lift to fit and lift both the front and rear lifting pucks at the same time? I find that my 5000 with the lifting blocks, will reach either the front or rear puck but the lifting blocks can not be positioned to be placed directly under both both pucks at the same time.

One end the tray is split, but you can put the lifting block on either side.

I've had my BL-5000SLX now for almost four years and am happy with it. I did have a bad quick-release fitting leak early on and Bendpak replaced it very quickly with no questions asked. One caveat if you don't use your jack often, or even if you do, check the air pressure before using. It should be kept at 50# and if too low will cause the jack to lower the car unevenly. Mine can go unused for months at a time and I must remind myself to check the pressure before doing anything.

Another observation: I keep my QJ under the C7 when not in use, and that relieves the task of storing it. Just position it for jacking and when finished push it back toward the center of the car for storage, as clearance is not a problem.

I’m purchasing one myself and am curious,
do you need the longer or shorter version of the product for a 2019 C7 Grand Sport?

I love my QJ 5000. I got a set of larger rubber lifting pucks. I leave it on the floor all hooked up, slide the two lifts together, drive over it without any issues. I do unplug it just incase.

You need the shorter one for the C7. The longer one won’t allow you to fit the short length between pucks.

Either one will work. My longer (5000TLX) model works well for my C7Z when turned perpendicular to the car, as shown here...


It also works well in the more "normal" parallel setup on everything else in my garage.

The shorter (5000TL) model works in the more "normal" parallel setup for C7s, but would be too short for many other vehicles.

I have a 7000 model and it works on my Stingray, plus I can use it for larger vehicles like my Tahoe.

What is a "free flow race deck flooring". If you mean raise the car with the QJ blocks on the flooring,,,, hummmm maybe not. Unless they are strong enough to support the entire weight of the car.
