Leak from where they are screwed on or quick release. I suppose if the former then redoing the fitting with better teflon tape might help. If it leaks where the two quick release pieces join then a better quality fitting might help. Although for the $$ charged you'd think they come with premium fittings.

My connections have not leaked.
I'm kind of lost where anyone brought up leaking anyway.

The connections are quite good actually.

Can't read the whole thread but does anybody have an issue with the down function on this jack system. I went to work on the car today, but couldn't install the hose on power unit. It appears like there's residual pressure in power unit and hitting the down button doesn't relieve the pressure. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

Are you sure the residual is in the power unit?
It might be in the hose.
Remember, there’s still fluid in the lines.
I’ve had a few times where I’ve had to push pretty hard, but finally got connected.

I'm pretty sure it's not the hoses. I was able to attach them to the lift rails with no problem.

What could be causing this problem on the down function? I'm thinking a failed solenoid valve but that's just a guess. Are there fuses to check? Thanks in advance.

Mine has up issues. If you dont hold the button the whole time and feather it like to make sure youre making contact and all that, the system will lock out. You either 100% commit to the lift or it jams.

That kind of sounds like bleeding issues.
Is it jumpy at all on the way up?

Been looking into this, my Z is lowered on swift springs and I have the evo r sides. What is the height of these ramps when flat? I want to measure the side gear ancestry to see if I'd be able to slide it in sideways under my car.

It depends on what model you are looking at getting.
Take a look at their measuring guide. It helped me. Also, feel free to call them. They were helpful over the phone too.
https://www.quickjack.com/quickjack-...ing-guide.html
I purchased the 7000-SLX and it works great for me. I also got the pinch weld blocks. I am at stock height.
They say you need a little clearance so that it can gain momentum to lift. I have an inch or two of clearance and mine lifts perfect.
This is right off of that page. "Keep in mind that there must be some space between QuickJack and your vehicle’s lifting points. If a collapsed QuickJack is pressed flush against your car, it will be unable to generate enough force to lift the vehicle."

Hope this helps..
