Been waiting on the TL versions to go on sale, they've got a higher lift than the SLX's.

5000TL - https://www.costco.com/quickjack-...33778.html

7000TL - https://www.costco.com/quickjack-...33826.html

The package with the hangers and blocks isn't on sale, but these prices are solid, best I've seen on the taller lift.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

I got the longer 5000 TLX during QJ's holiday sale for $1480 ($200 off their site price then, it's increased by $10). This deal is $180 less, though the extended costs $40 more than the regular ones, so $140 more savings than that deal.

Check if you need the TL or TLX. It may surprise you how many common cars need the longer version (last generation Civic, for example). I didn't wait for Costco to stock the longer ones of the new model because they never had them in the previous generation.

Use the downloadable manual when setting up, not the one that comes in left frame's box. The printed one I received had incorrect information (way too much torque on the elbow to small hose, for example). I didn't get all the way to 34 N-m, stopped around 26 when I saw the hose was failing. I had to wait over a week to get the replacement part :/

I store mine under my SUV, so no need for the hangers. Lots of clearance vertically and they're only about two feet wide when pushed side-by-side. I used this tip to put the frames on wheels for about $12:

I don't know if those wheels would be strong enough for the 7000 models.
I have done about 100 oil changes for family. These make it a piece of cake.
You gotta start somewhere. Next week engine swap!

It was not an Amazon review.

Not sure I get the Amazon reference. He pushes these lifts pretty hard and the complaint is that there is heavy marketing on these. Lots of paid YouTube reviews. He discounts all the bad reviews on people not knowing what they are doing. Just smells like he got a kick from quickjack in relation to helping them develop mods to the quickjack and maybe he is a little biased... so did he get free stuff from qj? I own one. Received a unit with 2 rams that went bad on first lift which left my car stuck in the air, had another car fall off due to jack on one side flipping over and qj did not care. No support on that. They replaced the original rams which were defective but admitted the ones they sent were not assembled right leaving my car stuck in the air

Spends $1500 to do a $30 oil engine. Cool...makes sense.
Yeah, there's a lot more that goes into it than that. Unhelpful comment and you're probably trolling, but I'm triggered so I'll help you understand...

- Oil changes:
--> If you're paying $30 for an oil change, you're paying a life-flunky to touch and manage one of the most critical parts of your vehicle. You don't have to go far to find horror stories about idiots, even at dealerships, that have destroyed or damaged a vehicle for that "$30 oil change". Most oil changes are closer to $100 in my area at any place other than flunkies.
--> I know I'm doing it right when I do my and family members cars. I personally have 3 "WTF were they thinking?!!" stories for fixing eff-ups on others cars when they went to a shop for an oil change
--> If I'm changing my oil, I get to select the oil I want, buy it in bulk when it's on sale as well as filters
--> Time: for me to leave my house, drive somewhere and wait while I pay some ding-dong to do an oil change, it would literally take longer than me doing it myself in my driveway. Lots of folks live well outside of urban areas and prefer self-sufficiency and can spend less time doing it themselves.

Tire rotations and changes:
--> I change 4 sets of tires every Winter and Spring (four different vehicles). It is so much faster to put the whole vehicle up and do all four than jack each tire individually.
--> Again, time and money to do it myself than to load up tires in each vehicle, drive and pay $25-$50 per vehicle for someone to swap out 4 tires for something I have the tools and ability to do myself.

Other projects:
--> anyone with confidence, the right tools and Youtube can, at the least, take a stab at fixing a wide variety of issue with a car where a lift system like this would make a huge difference and save a lot of money (and build their confidence!).
--> Friends gladly pay to use your lift when you have one, thus reducing ROI time

So, again, I know you're probably trolling, but from the quick math above, this system would pay for itself in my driveway in 5 yrs or less.

Can you keep a car parked on top of this when not in use? I have a 1 car garage.

Wow, just wow. #clownworld
Right? All thrown into the same forum with idiots that don't use /s or /sarcasm or some other non-verbal/non-body language queue to indicate sarcasm.

Also, the referenced post was really low-brow sarcasm if that was indeed the intent.

Now that's more useful feedback than accusing somebody of being a shill.

Quote from jeff34270 :
Even they say that you can't rely on it and need to use jack stands in addition to the Quickjacks. From the manual:
WARNING: You must always use auxiliary safety stands under the Vehicle while elevated on both QuickJack Frames.

https://www.quickjack.com/pub/dow...Manual.pdf

That warning is new. I'm not sure how I would even do that as the lift blocks off access to all jack points between the wheels. The only way I have seen these drop a car is when one of the sides lifts uneven before it is at lock height and the car falls off or the lift pops out while in the lock position. Either way there is horizontal movement. I think a jack stand would just tip over in that case.

You probably could, but they have wall hangers available. They're $60 direct from Quickjack, but only $32 from Home Depot for some reason: https://www.homedepot.com/p/QUICK...312015281?

I highly recommend the wheel mod. After owning one for 3 years now, would not buy again. For me the problem is just the hassle involved in setting it up. I can have a car on 4 jack stands faster than setting up the quick jack. Plus add in the size and weight if one is moving them out to a driveway etc. the wheels are a joke and barely roll over anything but smooth concrete. Only reason I bought it was due to the lack of space for a 2 post. I also didn't think not having side access while using the QJ would be a issue but find it a pain when doing a clutch job etc. if they were 30% lighter and sub $1000, I could over look the issues I have with it.

I bought the 5000SLX last January and I find it works pretty well. The only real issues I've run into is 1) It can be time consuming to get a car properly positioned over the lift/blocks - but this all depends on your car. I have one that takes me (alone) maybe 20 minutes to line up the pads and the frame rails. Yes, it's pretty annoying but I would have the same issue with jack stands.

@CandyCheetoSteamboat - yes, you can park your car over the lifts (you'd have to straddle them). I personally wouldn't do that if you live in a climate with snow and such as the jack could get pretty icy/snowy/salty.

That's one oil change every other day

Sure, if I did them in a year. Maybe I did them over the course of several years…

I'm guessing he's not going to throw the lifts away after the oil change. Will very likely do other stuff using them nod

A few oil changes and break jobs easily justify a lift purchase. I hate trying to lift newer vehicles with floor jacks.
Who would want you to perform a break job on their car?

Quote from gl21133 :
Do you use yours with a Porsche? I just picked up a 997.2, I feel weird about using a regular jack with it.

Yes, I have used it on my 997.2 for brake fluid flushes and when I did the coils/plugs. For an oil change just jack one side with a hockey puck or something similar on the jack. Watch as the front also lifts because the car is so rigid. Because the car is relatively low the QJ lifts it relatively high.

For those who jump in remember the air cylinders are there to lower the lift and I would remove and retape the schrader valves as they tend to leak. Check the pressure often at first. If you are having trouble connecting the hoses to the power unit press and hold the down button to relieve the pressure.

It does take more time to set up then a floor jack most of that is aligning the frames under the car.
