got mine from Costco and love it. I trust it 1000% when I’m under it. Good thing about Costco.....if something changes I can always take it back. Best purchase I’ve made in years. No more dicking around woth jacks, blocks, and jack stands.

I’ve had a version one for many years. My 5000 pound S63 coupe up on it is rock solid. The Vette is easily lifted and very stable. I’m surprised they advise jackstands additionally. Worst part is it’s a bit short length for some of my cars. I met the VP of sales at SEMA a couple years back and he offered to change to the latest frame size w all the upgrades for free, so the customer service is there. It’s a quality piece, and the durability is proven to me after 4 years of use. Sure, I’d rather have a bendpak, but I don’t have a space that would accommodate it. So it’s a niche product, but a good one.

I have a Bend Pak 7000 with two hydraulic sliding tray jacks that allow me to suspend the whole car on the lift. The best and safest way to do any kind of repairs or modifications to the car. The package is a little pricey to do and probably not practical for the average owner. I have my set up in my machine shed.

Got mine from Cosco. It was delivered 2 days after order and no problems at all. Never had a problem with anything from Cosco.

Nonetheless, it's a huge step up from a jack and jack stands.
Only front wheels need the wood planks and not the rear? quickjack will still line up correct?

3500 model it will fit under the C7 perfectly right? Nothing else needed?

Saw someone put the C7 on quickjack the whole winter for storage, you can do that no problem?!?!?

If you're not lowered you won't need the planks. The 5000 will work too. I got the 5000 ext so that I could lift my wife's camaro and it works fine for my z06.

Cool thanks, yeah my Z06 ain't lowered, seriously considering 5000SLX . This seems to be way better than jack and jack stands!

It's way better. Safer too I think. I've left mine on the quickjack for a couple of weeks or more with no issues at all. It's perfect for almost anything other than dropping the engine or drivetrain.

Decision to buy the Quick Jack for me was sealed when I realized they will have a motorcycle lift adaptor available this spring so I could get by with 1 lift. With 5 motorcycles in addition to the Corvette to clean & service I am tired of getting down on cold concrete floors.

Will all the Quick jack models work on a Stock C7 and C3?
Thanks

I looked at the quickjack but decided to spend the extra a get the maxxjaxx portable 2 post lift system. it gets the car much higher. I cant walk under it but they "threw-in" a wheeled work stool and its the perfect height for getting under the car (sitting up) and I can stand up to change out wheels/tires.... just another option.

Might get into motorcycles later, so any of the quickjack will have it this spring?! Can lift 2 bikes with 1 quickjack then?! That's awesome!! Might get the 5000SLX from costco, 9999 with free shipping until the end of the month. Price for this adopter?

The quickjack comes with (4) ea. short rubber lifting blocks; (4) ea. tall rubber lifting blocks. WIth those and hocky pucks under the jacking points will they work? Or must I get those jacking pucks that hook into place? I got ground effects but not lowered Z06. (also got a ford focus)

Thinking about either picking it up or just let them ship it from costco, the packaging is good right it won't get damaged during shipping.

Is the base 3500SLX good enough for my c2 and c7?

I I would think it would be fine but I would take the measurements that are described on their web page just to make sure.

NO the two half's of the quickjack are butted up against each other and the motorcycle adapter fits on top of the two, at least that's the way it looks on the website

Sounds like a lot of people just use the safety pin and don't use jack stands when doing under the car. Do you guys use jack stands or other extra safety measure when going under the car?

And so far no report of it fail and caused serious injury or death huh? Really good product people seem to love it.

I used jack stands the first couple of dozen times. Since then I haven't used jack stands. You'd have to brake a weld or have the square crush. I don't think the tubing will collapse from one of our cars. I always check the welds on the stop plate but honestly it's very well built.
