Quickjack
Hi all so I bought the Quickjack 7000 and got it all set up, but maybe I’m missing something. The jack is not long enough to hit both lift points at the same time. I was able to lift the car but had to choose either the rear lift puck or the front lift puck. I set it up to hit the rear one because of the engine in the rear. I’m sure lifting on the frame just behind the front lift point won’t hurt the car and it was stable when I lifted it but just wondering. Is it supposed to hit both lifting points? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question. Just thought I’d ask in case someone else decides to buy the Quickjack and it doesn’t hit both lift points. Thx

Do a search and you'll find some helpful hints on making the 7000 work. That being said, you need an XLT or TL version with a 66" span to fit properly. But as I said, do a search as others have been able to make the standard version work.

if you are able to return the 7000 do it then buy the 5000TLX!

Phil1098 used the 7000SLX successfully on his C8 even though its max spread is 60"

There are ways to use it, but if at all possible return it and get a 5000TLX. That will reach the lift points just fine. If not, search the forum and YouTube for how to place the lift blocks.

This is why I got the 5000 "TLX" version which is about 1.5" less height than using a 5000TL with the extension kit added on.
