QuickJack Sale!

That would be my concern as well. I guess you could cut a spacer to sit between them to make sure they are parallel each time. While it seems nice to just hit a button and raise the vehicle, I can have all my vehicles jacked up and on jack stands in the time it would take to get these setup each time.

Skeptical of time comparison. I guess if you store QJ's on wall and disconnect all hoses. I started out doing this then realized it is easier to just store jacks on floor under vehicle. Pushed to center of bay while not in use. Pull out under frame/rockers when needed. They are low enough to fit under my Jag...which has very low clearance.

Keep in mind that there is a lock feature at full and half height. A cam locks the jack after you raise fully and lower a bit. Add standard jack stands if you are worried. Personally, I feel the huge difference in surface area and construction of the QuickJacks make them even safer than some jack stands on the market.

The issue is the whole frame will slide if they are in a bind and seem to do it without warning. I rig large equipment at work occasionally and you have to be diligent in your actions and assume the possible worst case. If your underneath the car you have almost zero reaction time. That's why I like the tires under the car. It makes it impossible for the car to get to you. The jack stands could go over wit the quick jack.

I use mine the same way but they are always in the way. I've got in the habit of just using my ryno ramps for oil changes. That's the fastest of all the options. And I don't even worry about the vehicle falling off them and have the same work area just not having a level vehicle. But tire and suspension work the quick Jack's are awesome.

If the cylinders are aired up properly they will go down flat.

Great point! When I use mine regularly I noticed that the air didn't leak out. I guess I need to make checking the pressure part of the setup procedure

In case anyone missed this sale, Quickjacks and accessories are on sale for home Depot's deal of the day

This is just one as an example

Well I got mine last week, finally got it all set up and used it for the first time today.
I have a 2nd gen Toyota Tacoma, needed to rotate tires and clean up / treat some frame rust.

I admit I was a little nervous and it took some fiddling to find the best jack points but it lifted all the way to the top and was super steady. So far, I am very happy with it.

One note … I did read the manual, but spent a few minutes scratching my head trying to get it off the top locks … lifted all the way and the cams wouldn’t go over center! Turns out you just have to lift them over, easy once I figured that out!
