Quickjacks - Do they work?

[j4ypal]

Saw yesterday a video by Obsessed Garage about Quickjacks and was wondering if any member tried them. After multiple searches and Grok prompts, nada.

From what I see, the 8000TLX is the most likely candidate for CT, since it can lift 8000 lbs. Did anyone try them?

After digging in some old post by T-Sportline here, distance front to back between lift points is 70.5 inches. 8000TLX max spread is 66 inches so won't work. The 6000ELX does not meet the weight requirement so Quickjacks seem to be no go.

Either bigger lift or back to floor jacks.

I had the 7000 lbs extra long version. I needed them for a Camaro 2021 2SS since I didn't want to buy super long drive up ramps for oil changes. I thought I would use them on my full size Silverado as well but I had to make special lift stands for safety. Those Silverados have some sort of grease on the frames that is really slippery. Also, Quickjacks rotate up instead of scissoring straight up so your wheels will drag when lifting. Finally these things are heavy and difficult to move under the vehicle. They need to be perfectly parallel to each other so they don't slip on you vehicle when lifting. I ended up making a wheel kit to make them more usable. I made a video on YouTube showing what I did, just look up Neal Conrardy to see it. The 7000 lbs extra long version wasn't long enough for the Cybertruck. I sold mine and would buy a regular lift if you have the room.

That product looks like a death trap to me, since most people aren't going to bother fully reading and following the instructions.

After reading it myself, and noticing that this product doesn't allow or recommend you bolting it down on an adequate concrete floor, I suggest you don't use it at all. The ability to rack sideways and collapse is an extreme design flaw and it's only a matter of time before someone gets crushed by it.

I was interested in the Quickjack for frequent wheel swaps on my Model Y (all seasons to winter wheels) and held off purchasing until I got a Cybertruck + hoping they made a 8k capacity version with suitably wide lift points.

Now...not really interested. While it is possible to add a " Crossbeam Adapter" to attach the two sides together, it does not appear to structurally tie the two "sides" together. I agree with concerns above...

Too risky, I don't want to get crushed. And the weight of the Quickjack doesn't appear to make it that much less time end-to-end for maintenance like wheel swaps.
