Question for QuickJack users
Thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these in the spring as my garage has no room for a standard lift.
5,000lb capacity model should be plenty for my needs but i'm wondering about the length needed for C4 jack points. What's everyone using, SLX or EXT model? My vette is in storage so I can measure right now. If someone could snap a picture of the C4 lifted and how the blocks interface with C4 jack points that would be helpful. :thumbs: |

I purchased the BL-5000SLX this past October. The C4 jacking points work great with this model.

Here's the link to my review of the QuickJack from 2016:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ft-review.html Here's pictures of the jack points: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...aebfc6afa0.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...5ba1f155ef.jpg They line up relatively well, give or take. I have my 95 coupe in the air right now, winter is the best time for car work. Clearance is great and I can get around the entire underside with no issues. You'll love it!:rock: |
Yeah I need one of these in my life. I'm currently using ramps I made out of 2x10s. The extra height would be amazing.
I also don't use the factory jacking locations. They are very easily damaged. My drivers side was already messed up a little before I bought it. When I use my Dad's lift I put the pucks just inside on the pinch welds. |
Great information everyone, thank you. Really appreciate the close up of the rubber blocks.
Looks like the 5000 SLX will suit C4 needs just fine. Sane as haxx I’m getting tired of the old heavy homemade wood ramps and jack routine. |

When I posted this thread I was literally in the delivery room with my wife :lol: but i've finally got one on order...should be here Friday.
Pretty stoked to get rid of the giant 2x10 ramps I made and start using this! First project is a trans fluid change. |
Then go do some runs:D

haha yea i'm going to get it for you one day! Maybe a track day this fall....
I can definitely see myself getting those jacks one day. |
Well so far I’m severely disappointed. The packages came damaged AF and once opened I was not surprised to find an obsolute mess. It has clearly been used and repacked. Fitting/hoses missing, parts damaged, hydraulic fluid everywhere. A joke. I contacted BendPak and they are going to get back with me Monday. Initially they wanted to send me replacement parts and then charge a 20% restock fee, but I adamantlyhttps://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...338ead078.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...4a1aaf2b2.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...bc54827ba.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...93e8f5a8a.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...0c69b1f08.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...7b749c941.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...7c807cf30.jpeg rejected that. Hopefully there is better news Monday. |
Wow very sorry they came to you like that. Hopefully they make it right. 20% restocking fee is outrageous.
|
Holy F**K!!!....the 2 issues I had were promptly take care of. Hopefully you will get a quick turn around on the missing/damaged parts.

I have to chime in here, my experience with these jacks has not been very good actually. I received mine in similar shape with damages boxes and looking like it been previously used or assembled. mine however does not work well. Twice I have had the jacks not lower and several times they did not lift or lower at the same rate. I have tried to bleed the system several times with no luck. I personally am quite disappointed with mine.

I’ll only give it another shot if they agree to send me BRAND NEW never opened boxes. If not, I want my money back and I’ll buy an atlas mid rise. |
