where? I've seen some that knock on the as shipped quality but have all been rectified by customer service. I'm placing an order for one very soon so I'd like to read the negatives as well.

Edit: I saw the deal ends today so i went ahead and placed my order. Can't really go wrong for a grand and change. If I end up not liking it, I'll just sell it later.

Interested to see how you get on. Looks a bit flimsy to me. Not at all sure I would want to get under it. And 14 swg steel does not impress me one bit. Years ago when I made myself some custom ramps, I used 3/16" steel (6 swg) for the frames - 14 swg is only the same thickness as typical household electrical wire - just over 1/16".

Apparently you're not alone, because QJ made a video about this very topic.

Wish I could swing this, have heard great reviews. Right now it's about a 15 minute process of getting my car on Jack stands. Would save me so much time, some day...

Just received mine from UPS a few hours ago. The boxes were beat to hell, but no product damage that I could find. Assembly is incredibly straight forward. Filling and bleeding was easy as can be also.

I used the tall blocks and lifted the car right up. Fenders were at 41 inches at full lift sitting on the 2nd lift catches. This should make my longtube install so much easier. Cant wait to get this started.

Bought mine last week. Costco still has it for sale but not with the $100 discount. The current price of $1,099 is still better than $1,365 on the Quickjack website.

Can you do a clutch job on it though?
