Anybody using Quickjacks?

I also see your guys points of having the jack stands with load on them but that is a bit difficult to do because of the very secure way the lift supports the car . There are only 2 positions that the lift will lock itself into place . I guess I could make some wedges out of more hockey pucks . Another issue is that they do not recommend using the unit with out having a car on it so adjustments would have to be made under load only . Also looking at the support bar I trust that locking mechanism more than I would a jackstand . From what I have observed the bracket transfers support to both sides of the lifts framing so that it is one support , it is actually holding both sides at once . I can only guess what the sheer on those bolts would be but it must be 20,000 lbs or way way more because of the test I have seen them do on YouTube .

I really leaning towards one of these lifts. For those of you owning one, are the bolts used at the pivot points ones with machined shoulders or are the pivots resting on the threads of the bolts? Thanks.
That green car in tbe pictures seems like it needs a lot of work. Maybe if i drove my red one , it would as well.

Hi George: The Green Car in the pictures other than a broken window stop needs no work. The Mechanics who changed the rear tires for us said it was one of the most beautiful and cleanest Vettes they had ever seen .

Its a beauty, that is for sure. I believe that color combination will be my next purchase. Thumbs up.

Here you can see were the rubber blocks that support the frame have left there mark . No damage to the car or the jack . Proper placement is important and it gives a few spots on the jack frame itself to give you that choice such as locating the rubber block so as not to interfere or damage brake lines on the drivers side .

I'll take some closer pics next time I use it so you can see the bolts and pivot points ...
