QuickJack Lift

[qwikz28]

I don't know if anyone is interested in one of these, but they are currently on sale at Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/p/QuickJack-BL-7000SLX-7-000-lbs-Capacity-Portable-Car-Lift-BL-7000SLX-AC-110V/309646718?cm_mmc=ecc-_-THD_SHIP_CONFIRMATION-_-20190813_THD_SHIP_CONFIRMATION-_-Product_URL__W937877040withTHD

My jack has officially given up on me and can barely lift a corner of my car. I don't do much work on my car these days, but since I stopped leasing and my wife's car is out of warranty, I'm doing oil changes and tire rotations at home. That made this a no brainer at $1200.

I think BLS and maybe Sheds each have one too

I'm still enjoying mine. I have an extra pair of their wall hangers I'd sell for super cheap if you want them.

[sweetbmxrider]

They are great, much better than jacks/stands/ramps for most work. Enjoy 8-)

[ThoR294]

tempting

[Blackbirdws6]

I'll just say that I may have set my car on fire if I had to continually put the bird on jack stands (high up too) and then back down as I was troubleshooting starter issues. It also allowed for quick up/down work when removing/reinstalling headers too. I had the vette up on it too while doing track day prep.

If you can't do a proper lift and will put any reasonable time in with your car, just get it.

ah thats the 5000 lbs one. the original post is 7000

7000 is a bit overkill for what you will be doing. 5000 works fine for shamu so it will work for most anything sans the bigger SUVs.

Oh the quickjack makes some fun noises (kinda like an orca actually) when the beast is raised from the earth.

Pretty sure your front end needs 0 lift support (perma wheelie)

Just came in on Saturday while my car was on jackstands and I was replacing the front calipers. It looks like a gigantic pain in the ass to put together. I'm hoping to have it together the next time my wife's Jeep GC needs an oil change and rotation.

I'm still enjoying mine. I have an extra pair of their wall hangers I'd sell for super cheap if you want them.
I'll take you up on that. PM me your paypal and the amount I should send.

Getting all the fittings installed isn't hard but certainly tedious. Watch their YouTube setup video as it was really helpful in avoiding any issues. I think I had mine all setup in about 1.5hrs taking my time (always).

PM incoming.

They are.

Ill come up tonight and take them off your hands for $600?

[Jersey Mike]

Watched the video BLS was mentioned and it didn't seem bad, to be honest. Just need some room to maneuver. Lmk if you need a hand.

The funny part was how the guy plays off the weight of the units. You see him hold his breath while lifting.

Thanks man. I found a comment on the product page saying it took a guy an entire afternoon with help. I'm really only worried about the hydraulics to be honest.

Tree fiddy?

Thanks man. I might take you up on that too. Otherwise, let's go for a ride with Keith, I finally fixed my brakes and have an interior. Also, this is a great opportunity for me to plug a picture of my new brakes!

[Blackbirdws6]

It's really just screwing in the various lines/fittings to the two lifts and the pump. A bit of bleeding from there and done. That's oversimplifying it but that's all it really is.

One thing I will mention is avoid overfilling the hydraulic fluid reservoir haha. Ask me how I know....

Definitely overfilled the reservoir. lol

There must be a new variation because the instructions indicated my type of filler cap didn't require any air bleeding. Just fill up and go. As a matter of fact, we likely could have completed the entire assembly in less than half hour if the instructions weren't such trash. We counted three blatant mistakes. Ended up taking a little over an hour I would say.

But it works. Lifted my Buick up and down with ease. A little slower in each direction than I imagined, but still far easier than jacks and stands.

Yeaaa it's oddly easy to overfill the first time. The reservoir "cap" allows air to bleed off if unthreaded a bit which is intentional. I'm not sure if yours is the same as mine. I had mine a bit too tight and the reservoir attempted to implode but thankfully I noticed it.

I'm fine with the speed as I wouldn't want it to operate that quickly anyway.

Have fun with it!

Ordering one up today. Just had another birthday recently and the less work setting up the car the better. Thanks for the posting.

Random bump, but Costco just advertised the 5000lb version for $999 delivered.
