I did a review on it when I got it and used it a few times, later today I'll find it and link it here. Generally I like it and much better than jack and jackstands. The lift frames are god awful heavy to move around though and there is enough space under the car to position the small blocks but I like some space under there so when I can I put the front of my car on my homemade ramps and makes it easier to put the frames in place with tall blocks and jacking pucks.

I've had no leaks, no issues that were the fault of the unit (1 time user error on me). The early models had problems with leaking hoses the later ones are better and it also comes to user install when putting it together and periodic maintenance.

Here's the review I did on the 7000slx QJ. The CF review is linked in the SVTP post I did below:

I had just finished doing rear axle and MT fluid swap in the garage and of course using my 7SLX to put the ZR1 in the air...……………….no problems.

U have the 7000 or 5000 slx model?
The 7000 frames are slightly taller than 5000 frames. I've never lowered my cars and on the C6Z with the jacking pucks in place with short blocks it will just barely slide under. With the ZR1 now again jacking pucks in place short blocks the LF side puck lightly rubs the short blocks as I slide the frame in place. What I do now is on that spot I get the block in place (and it might be right under the puck or slightly off) + the other 3 areas lift up the car like an inch or two and lower back down then I check all the blocks and now the car is slightly higher than when it is sitting on the wheels.

Edit: As far as “safer” there’s a YouTube vid where they load a Quickjack with over 16,000 pounds, no fail...about 5 of my Z06s.

I have a 5000 model, no leaks ever and the Quickjack only uses the hydraulics to lift the car, not “hold” it once elevated. There are steel support rods that seat against steel rests in the frame to hold the car off the ground. The hoses do not leak, they have dust caps to keep them clean and if you hold the down button a few extra seconds there is no pressure in the lines and the quick couplers are very easy to connect/disconnect.
