There's a long thread on here that will help a lot. Also a code to save 100.00.

Love mine. No brainer. Just buy it and stop researching.

Only advice is get the DC model. Portable jumper battery packs are under $100 on eBay and suddenly you have a system you can use anywhere.

A bit heavy, but I love mine. Z06 has been sitting on it for months waiting for the Spring to arrive

I do agree they are very heavy, but WOW they do work great. I use them for all my cars. I would recommend them!

Another satisfied QuickJack owner. One of the best purchases I have ever made. Unless you own a heavy SUV or pickup, the 5000 model works fine...and you will find yourself using it for all of your vehicles, not just the vette.

From a safety standpoint, I always place a jack stand under the upper horizontal plate of the quickjack. Trust no one especially when you're under a car.

I have one and use it on both my C6Z and C7Z. It works great, is well built and does exactly what it is supposed to do. It is also easy to use and the car is very stable when on it.

I use it almost every weekend during the track season for routine maintenance on the brakes and tires. I have also used it for more elaborate projects that required the car to sit on top of it for months. No issues at all. If I am working under the car I place some jackstands in appropriate locations as a back-up. The unit is not flimsy and I feel safe, but I still toss the jack-stands under the car if I am crawling underneath and wrenching for a while. Makes the wife feel better.

They are heavy but I put strips of HDPE 1/4" thick on the bottoms and now they slide very easily and do not scratch up the floor.

I ordered the 12v and the ext. They said it would be sometimes in March before it shipped. I have a Weego 66 that I'm going to try first. If that doesn't work I'll buy a battery.

I've had my Quick-Jack for 2 years....I don't know how I ever lived without it. I use it frequently. Its a very cost effective, safe method to lift your entire car. Great product.

I bought the 5000 EXT with the suv and light truck adapter set and I had no problem also lifting my Avalanche. So it has enough power, I’m not sure what the Avalanche weighs.

I went with the 5000 ext because I wanted to be able to lift my wife's ss camaro too. They were out of stock so it will be March before I get it.

You can lift a 5000 pound weight with a 7000 pound jack but....
I have the 7000 pound model and lift anything in the stable but my tractor and 6x6 dump truck.

Yes, I have Race Deck flooring. No, I don't place anything under the QuickJack. My car has been lifted for days with the QuickJack and there are no marks whatsoever on the Race Deck tiles. I have the 5000 lbs. lift. I love it....my GS is sitting on it right now. Very happy with it and its very easy to use.
