Having used the lift quite a few times over the last week or so I have to say that I am completely confident to get under the car to do an oil change when I need to do it end of the summer . This lift is so stable the car will not move when you push hard on it .

Is the Quickjack compatible with the V2V frame stiffeners? I'm doing Quiklift and have for awhile, but like the ease of hanging 4 wheels for brake/tire/shock work.

I have never seen the frame stiffener setup but if you still jack your car up the same way as before the stiffener install then I see no problem . The quick jack lifts the car similar to a full car lift system but only 30" off the ground .

Three things come to mind as I look at this.

CAUTION!

First, the name of the product is quick JACK and it is after all a jack; so the same precautions should apply if you should RISK getting beneath the car while on this or any jack, i.e. DO NOT DO IT if only supported by a jack.

Second, the jack-stands might be better placed inboard of the quick jack on the rails ( normal spot for stands ), and adjusted higher.

Lastly, be careful that the long rails of the quickjack are not contacting your floor. In the picture they seem awfully close if not on the floor. I see crushed/cracked floors all of the time from inadvertent lifting .

Not trying to be a PITA....
Just would like to see you at many more Carlisle events!!!

Thanks Marty for your observations . The car is sitting on 4" thick rubber blocks that you cannot see in the pictures so there is no harm or marking to the frame or the Fiberglas body . First vid shows the blocks .The instructions specifically say to not lift a vehicle without the rubber blocks. Its one of the reasons I got the lift . No metal supports on the car frame . If you notice also I use hockey pucks on my jack stands . I am that anal about taking care of this car . The rubbers are placed basically where you would jack the car normally . Yes . Completely agree . More shoring up would come into play when I have to go under the car . Going to buy 4 more jack stands and place them strategically in proper locations . Again I cannot stress enough how stable and secure this unit is and no I do not work for or have any affiliation with Quick Jack . Just another very impressed customer . Wish I had had this 30 years ago at the track . We put those jack stands you see in the pictures underneath the IROC Z Camaro I was racing and those stands were on grass , hence the 3/4" plywood under the stands ... Amazingly the Camaro was stable on those stands but a Quick Jack would have been such a safer way to go for my mechanics . Luckily I don't remember any of the guys having to crawl under the car . A Camaro is a lot heavier than a Corvette as we all called them tanks back in the day lol and they were ...


Keep the comments coming ...
