QuickJack Lift System

Jayhovah

I am hot for the Dannmar MaxJax. I believe Chuck has one.

I actually kind of wish they made a permanent install version of it.

I was looking at that one as well. Nice unit!
Not sure how thick my garage concrete slab is. They say that the flush mounted anchors need 4" of concrete. Not sure how thick mine is.

Received my Quick Jack BL-7000SLX today.
Set up took about an hour and a half (was taking my time).
I put about an inch and a quarter spacing under the pinch blocks to give clearance between the Quick Jack frames and the car's side skirts.
Lifts it without any issues. It will also be able to lift our Armada and my Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab.
Perfect height for me and my creeper.
Here is a link to a couple pictures. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tzvbyzegu...J_8GnfZ8a?dl=0
This thing is awesome!

So, my Z is TTed and when it is stored for the winter, I am supposed to start it every couple weeks and let it run for 15-20 minutes to keep fluids circulated.
I have the Z up on the the Quick Jacks with the pinch blocks in the factory lift locations.
My question is, is it safe to start the car and let it idle for the 15-20 minutes while it's up in the air on the Quick Jacks or should it be lowered everytime I need to start it to circulate the fluids?
Thanks for any advice.

Wouldn't see why it would be a problem. If it's already up and secure, then running shouldn't be an issue.

That's what I thought. Just second guessing myself regarding vibrations while it's idling and up in the air.
I think it should be fine..
Let me know if others have any concerns with this.
Thank you.

Not a problem. When I installed my exhaust system I started the car and then went under it to check for leaks. The QJ system is VERY stable.

I'm the OP of this thread and I still love my QJ system.

Well, my Z has been in the air for a couple months now as we are in winter and it has been raining non stop..
I start the Z every couple of weeks for 20 minutes to get fluids running and up to temp. No issues while it's up on the Quick Jacks!

This has been a really helpful thread - my dad just built a new outbuilding/garage and has been toying around with the idea of getting a hydraulic lift, and a QuickJack is one of the options he's been throwing around. I was able to pass on some of the info you guys have listed.
The portability is a big selling point - he doesn't want to have one of the bays solely dedicated to a lift. As someone who will likely (read: definitely) be mooching the use of it, I also like that it doesn't have crossmembers underneath (from what I can see) so I can use a creeper to access the underside of the car.

Good stuff. Thanks all for the pics and great information.

Yes, you can use a low profile creeper with the QuickJack, as long as you don't have too large of a beer belly!

On this system are you still putting jack stands under it as a back up so you dont get squashed if it fails? Just wondering if there is a fail safe of some sort...

Yes there are safety locks at 2 points

Working perfectly! Not a single issue.

One thing that I have learned is to hold the down button for about ten seconds AFTER the car has been lowered. This allows the pressure in the hoses to fully bleed off and it makes the hoses easier to remove and install. The quick couplers will hold pressure in the lines if you don't bleed them off and they can be a bear to install.
