No, that is the added height that you need from the other materials. The pinch weld blocks actually do not touch the side sills the way I lift mine. Probably have 3/8 - 1/2" of clearance.

Be VERY careful stacking two tall ones. I used two tall ones and came very close to losing the car off of them.

During the lift or while you were working on it?

All of the above. I was putting an exhaust on my Juke and when I went to lower the car, I saw that the blocks were tilting. Immediately went into a case of "what if" cold sweats.

A friend let me borrow his Quickjack when I changed my diff bushings. I used the pinch weld block on top of the short solid block. I didn't like having to stack them and kept an eye on the blocks but it was solid and stable the two days it was up.

My only complaint about the Quickjack is that they are heavy. You need to configure your garage so you don't move them around very much.

Agreed, I was initially very uncomfortable stacking them. Ended up gorilla-taping the pinch weld blocks to the short blocks so I could be sure they were aligned correctly.

My set up is extremely stable. My Z is up on it all winter, for the last couple years. Just did a break job. Love this system!
