So I just bought the QuickJack and so far I am impressed. I accidentally removed some of the paint off one of my wheel barrels and I decided to expose chrome so I am going to strip them tomorrow. I am also in the process of zinc plating a new set of GM rotors. Anyway, had enough going on I thought I would invest in a lift... I like it so far.

Been thinking about buying one of these as well. How easy/difficult was the setup? Thanks!

Your car looks great. That yellow with the chromes really looks good!

they paint the inside of the barrels because the chrome finish sucks on them. Mine had nickle plate coming thru and looked awlful. I painted them back.

Setup is just installing a few fittings and wheels. The rest of it come assembled. Super simple.

Love mine. Great purchase.

zink plating rotors?

I need one. I have had my Z06 up on jack stands 5 times now since I bought the car in march.

Amazon sells GM Replacements fairly cheap (~$65/each) so I bought them, bead blasted the primer off the hats and veins and then took to a local plating shop. There are actually 3 of us doing this so we are in the process still but are doing 12 C6 Z06 rotors for a total cost of $125. I should be able to pickup this week. The rotor pic in my original post is the trial run the shop did and it looks awesome to me...no more rust. I will post more pics when I get back and get installed on the car.

Thanks, it wasn't my first pick but couldn't pass up the miles (682 for an 08). It has grown on me but I plant to get either the same wheels in competition grey or get the larger matte black cup wheels.

yeah if the chrome doesn't look good I will repaint as well but I will use something that cleans better. Painted barrels doesn't bother me but the factory paint is impossible to keep clean.

yes, setup was simple. just follow the instructions. I also bought the reverse logic lifting pucks which work well with the QuickJack. my heaviest vehicle is a 2018 4Runner and it is less than 5,000 lb so I can use the QuickJack 5000SLX.
