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.

You're going to like it. The setup is straight forward and there's tons of videos on that part. If you're car is completely lowered on the stock bolts, you may not be able to clear depending on side skirts or not. My solution is to drive up on small wood planks on just the front wheels. Nonetheless, it's a huge step up from a jack and jack stands.
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?!?!?

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.

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.

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.

[QUOTE=okaythen;1598814412]Might get into motorcycles later, so any of the quickjack will have it this spring?! Can lift 2 bikes with 1 quickjack then?
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.
