Been waiting on the TL versions to go on sale, they've got a higher lift than the SLX's.
5000TL -

7000TL -

The package with the hangers and blocks isn't on sale, but these prices are solid, best I've seen on the taller lift.

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.

My full experience is on the last quickjack deal and there is a lot of info as to what can go wrong with it. I still have to use it because I don't have room for a two post but it takes me like 30-40 min to get everything line up to where I would nervously get under the car. Once you see a big car just fall off it you get a little skittish about trusting it

Similar Lift
7000 lbs portable automatic car lift-the best gift for the driver🎁
$129.00 – $149.00
Decent floor jack = $200-300
4 decent jack stands = $150
Same amount of time.
If anyone owns this wants to dispute I would love to hear it because I legitimately want an excuse to buy this.
Oh, and if you don't need to lift the body independently from the wheels then Rhino Ramps are even easier.
for oil changes maybe it's overkill, and rhino ramps is probably as fast as it gets (have those too). For doing summer and winter tire swaps, it's so much easier though since all 4 are lifted at the same time. Also was really nice when I had to work on my supercharger setup and oil cooler.
It's a nice to have.

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.
You know for what you mentioned, coils and oil, you can do all that with the car on the ground. Pan is already angled. I stopped with jacks unless for wheels, brakes, or suspension.
I was also super tempted by this. I went with jackpoint jackstands instead. Way faster. Did not like the setup time with this.
Want one of these for mine, would make everything so much easier.

No, I bought mine from Costco. No discount other than stacking with the slick deals mentioned citi custom cash card for $300 off $1000 purchase
I post about products I like. I guess I must be a paid shill for Milwaukee and ridgid too. Ive also been a member of SD for almost 5 years, and have literally only posted about the Quickjack once.
By that standard, you're a shill for this weird looking poncho you've posted about too: https://slickdeals.net/f/15534832-homeless-chic-poncho-49-off-853-99
I told people here to look outside of a deal shopping website for quickjack use reviews and look at car forums where more people have experience with them. Almost 200,000 google search results for "quickjack porsche", and over 250,000 for "quickjack bmw".
Plenty of room for independent research and for shoppers to make their own determination with feedback from people who actually use it.
Every quickjack product on Home Depot's website has over 4.5 star average rating as well.
I guess everyone reviewing it is a shill all over the internet too? Maybe its a conspiracy we've all come up with just to personally con you?
I said that some posts on my previous SD thread skewed it because people don't like to admit they used something wrong, and I specifically posted about known issues of this product. The TL version update addresses many of those issues. You dont know that, because you dont own one.
If you felt like my point about user-error was aimed towards you, it wasn't, but if it the shoe fits, well then, lace it up.
There's room for user error here, just like any other scenario that involves lifting your car and you likely shouldnt own something like this if you cant follow directions.
I'm not forcing anyone to buy this product, and I didn't post this deal either. I posted the last one and others upvoted it.
I've wanted a portable solution like this for years. If you don't like yours, sell it.

But I am experienced in auto work. I am experienced at not being a smooth brain.
Most people can barely tie their shoes or walk and talk simultaneously. It isn't for you if you're part of the general population.
I bit the bullet today, also ordered the wall hangers I linked earlier. Which rubber stops are you talking about, the pinch weld blocks or something else?
No. No they don't. I just did mine.
