I for one don't understand the need or maybe your question. If you're referring to QuickJacks like the 5000 or 7000 models (or any model), there's no need for a jackstand. I always make certain the quick jack is in one of the two locking positions.

Could you supply some evidence of that? I would think if that were true it would really curb their sales or put them out of business. It a minimum it would cause them to put a warning out in their instructions to use jack stands and explain how.

Page 7 from QJ themselves.
As an added precaution, you must always use auxiliary safety stands under the Vehicle while elevated on both QuickJack Frames.

My understanding of the QJ is that you have to orientate a proper direction first and there is only one leg supporting truss that is held by a small angle weld to hold it. I would use the VEVOR system any day over the QJ for SAFETY as that is my priority.The QJ even looks shaky!

So the whole thread started with me just wanting to know what you use to support your car if you go under it. If you don't use anything no worries. For those that do, what do you use and where do you place them under the car when it's lifted on QJs.
