Hello All. Have a question from owners of a quickjack. I have a 2022 C8 HTC. Which Quickjack works best with my car. I'd like to drive on and lift. Thank you all and have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

You don't drive onto a Quickjack. You slide them in from the sides. That notwithstanding, I use a 5000TLX. Works just fine. HTH
I have the 5000TLX as well. Works great. I added a ball-bearing roller under the arms to allow easy movement under the vehicle.
I just leave mine on the floor and drive over them. Too heavy for me to deal without help.
Not enough wall space to store them anyway!
I they don’t make the TLX anymore. Therefore, you need to order the 6000TLX. My 6000TLX arrived before my ‘26 SR HTC Z51. Three days after getting the car, I used the QJ to change the dusty race pads to Carbotech 1521 pads. The QJ worked great. I highly recommend it. I hang mine on the wall when not in use.

I bought the 7000 version so I can also lift my truck. The downside is each side weighs 200lbs. If I were doing it over, I’d get the 5000 version. Great product btw.
I bought the 5000TL (shorter version) due to my other car (pictured below) being too short for the 5000TLX. The 5000TL works fine and is very stable with the rear of the 5000TL directly under the C8's correct rear lift point. I've used it numerous times over the 5+ years on my 2020 C8.

I think you have the QuickJack positioned incorrectly. According to the jack's manual the label side should be at the heavy end of the car. The label is visible in your photo between your tool box and the front tire.
Your's is positioned correctly if it was a front engine car.
I just ordered the 6000TLX and wall hangers on their Black Friday deal. Thought about the 8000 so I could use on my GMC AT4X truck then remembered it’s a factory lifted truck and my garage ceiling height is only 9’ and the garage door rails would interfere. Concrete driveway pad in front of my garage is not level it’s sloped so no go using any type lift there. Oh well I don’t need to lift the truck ever. It’s plenty high to change oil without lifting. Rotating tires on it is a pain but I manage with two floor jacks as is. Once a year thing anyway.
I should get plenty of use out of the 6000 with the corvette. Oil and filter change is due on it now. And by this time next year the 3 year transmission fluid change will be needed. I’m also looking forward to being able to easily pull the wheels to properly clean the brake dust from the barrels. That drives me nuts with my ocd.
I have the 7000tlx with hangers and truck extenders. I also added ball bearing casters on the opposite ends so it rolls very easy. I also purchased a winch installed on a sliding bar to electronically raise each unit onto the hangers. They are very heavy and didn't want any accidents lifting them on and off each time.
Use for
C8 oil &filter changes
C8 external trans canister filter replacement
C8 trans fluid exchange
C8 tire rotation L-R
Used to add Scrape Armour guards and amber dlrs.
With the prices dealerships charge to do these basic items, they pay for themselves very quickly.

From the QuickJack manual:
Looks like you might be right. I used them the way I saw others use them with the C8. I will review the manual better before I use them again.
