Are Quickjacks Worth It?

Since we're going to be working on the cars in the garage now, I picked up a set of Quickjacks to make things a bit easier! They're so much more convenient than a traditional jack and jack stands. They also raise the car higher so we have more room to work!

Fun Tip: I welded little caster wheels on mine so they slide around the garage and under the car easily when FULLY down. The moment they lift up a little the wheels lift up too so they are planted. I also know visually how far they need to be and I can place them under my car with just my toe and then boom, up the car goes. I'm sort of surprised they don't come with this option considering how much easier it makes things.

Definitely a handy gadget. I wouldn't call it "affordable", but I do think the price is reasonable. Part of the reason I quit doing my own work on my cars is that it's gotten more difficult lately to be that close to the ground. Lifting the cars higher could get me back to doing my own work... which means the thing could pay for itself in repair bills I'm not having to pay.

Two things not mentioned, Do not drive over these like you would a ramp lift, you will damage them, second, as the vehicle rises it also moves forward, so make sure you aren't up against anything in the front or rear (depending on how you put the jacks, they work either direction). I have the heavier set of these, 7K or so and have actually used then to lift an RV trailer. The tongue jack had a wheel on it and I put these under the two axles and just lifted it right up. Made it SO easy to take the wheels off and do a full brake and bearing inspection. Used them on the F-150 I had, but they won't work on my F-450 I have now, 9800 pounds is a bit heavy for them. Rock solid for anything under 7K. There are also spacers you can get for high clearance vehicles.

Don’t know if someone else posted about this, or if you’ll see it, but if you hook that propane heater up to a 100lb bottle (skinny & tall) versus the 25lb bottle (grill bottle), you will see a significant increase in both heat & efficiency. I’ve used it in both Northern Maine and where I am in NH, and the difference is significant. If you call a local propane company you can easily pick it up yourself with that trailer & save the delivery fee. Hope you stay toasty warm ;)

I got some a year ago, they are handy. Bit heavy, I built a low mount rack for mine, I don't trust to hang them. Negative you can't lower car on to jackstands after raising. Cause the stands will tip do car is raised at an angle. I think tire Jack's like race deck with paper under neath to all slip on surface. (Take two tiles lay face to face with newspaper between, creates slip just like home alignments) You can lift by placing them across too, in case you need different access

@@KBTV47 yeah i have a set of quickjacks the 7000 series and i can only pull my truck partway into my garage for full flat work. i normally use them outside with about 1 to 5 degree incline and much safer than jackstands. The jackstands giving way due to the angle and also the rolling lift jack is why i invested in Quickjacks several years back. Totally worth it and wished I had done it sooner. I also change out winter wheels on 2 rigs so what used to be a jacking ordeal is now 45 mins for each rig. 30 mins if i’m cruising along.

I bought the Quickjack 5000TLX primarily because I live in Florida and wanted to lift my C8 Corvette off the garage floor in case of flooding. That reason served me well when we took a direct hit from Hurricane IAN.water from the gulf surged inland. And now that I have it I will also use it to change the engine oil & filter and the DCT filter too. The BIGGEST DOWNSIDE to the Quickjack is that it is extremely heavy especially when you store them on the wall in the garage which means you have to lift the frames in order to place them on the QuickJack wall hanger. A real back breaker! To leave them on the garage floor is not an option because they take up too much garage floor space. For most jobs I prefer to use the awesome JackPoint Jackstands. So easy to use and convenient too.

Great video. I've owned a QuickJack for many years and love it. I just park over mine with one of my cars that clears them okay. I also use the rubber blocks with grooves cut in them for the pinch weld. I didn't see you use any. Does the GR86 not have a pinch weld? I used mine to do my install of my turbo kit on my 2009 Corolla and it was great to have it.

If the hydraulics fittings are JIC or ORFS, you do not need thread locker. The seal is created by the conical seats of the JIC fittings, or the rubber oring of the ORFS. Also if the connections are SAE-ORB, you don't need thread seal or locker. The only common hydraulic fitting that needs thread SEAL is NPT.

Love my quick jacks. You should look into getting the low profile blocks. Think i grabbed them off amazon and it allowed the jacks to still slide under my lowered supra.

I will likely need those once I install some sideskirts.

be careful with propane heaters, every hour or so (depending on the size of the heater of course) it would be a good idea to open the garage door and let the exhaust gasses out, or maybe a side door or something, tbh I would have gone with a 30-50k btu electric heater or something instead, but those usually require 220v power which isn't a common setup in a household setting.

Awesome review. I am about to leave the appartment lfie for a big farm and was wondering if this was worth or a movable scissor that you can roll on.

@KevinVo Жыл бұрын
I think this falls under the category of a scissor lift. Whatever you get, just make sure the center of the car is accessible on the lift to do any exhaust work and such.

Interesting to see another 86 owner using QuickJacks. I've had my QuickJacks for about 18 months and I've got a few observations: 1.) Kevin lifted the GR86, on my GT86 the QJ do not line up perfectly with the jacking points. They are a few inches shorter and this means that I choose to lift on the front jacking points and just inside the rear jacking points (the front being heavier). 2.) If you have Verus sideskirts, which do align with the jacking points, then they are incompatible with the QJ unless you choose to lift on the Verus mounting rails (or make another solution) 3.) When you need side access (such as fitting sideskirts) they are in the way. 4.) Make sure your floor is flat. Mine has a slight gradient so my car lifts at different speeds / angles per corner, so I have to shim the mounting blocks to allow the car to lift safely. It's not a major problem but something to be aware of. 5.) They are heavy to manoeuvre around so I actually use a normal jack more than I thought I would when I'm just checking a few things, but any major work under the car and I take the time and effort to setup them up (including dismantling the sideskirts). 6.) They are invaluable when you need to be under the car for any length of time. 7.) When you need them they are great, but they spend most of their time unused IME. I've also seen QJs sat in the background of other KZbinrs when they grab the normal jack, so I assume this is common behaviour.

All great points! For me, I don't think the jacking points being the tiniest bit short is going to be an issue. I know I'm going to be using these a ton for my GR86 and my FRS. Maybe even my truck some day haha

Love my 7000TL; just wish the hoses were more flexible and not as rigid. TIP: Use Teflon tape and not that garbage threadlock they provide. Also wish they had come standard with pinch weld blocks and didn't force me to spend an extra $200 on a set. 99% of car jack points are pinch weld; makes sense to include THOSE as they can be used for both pinch/non-pinch jack points.

Great purchase, I love my quickjacks! My question is what model heater did you get and where did you get it? I have a pretty big garage so I've also been looking for something that will allow me to work on cars during the winter months.

I ended up with a Mr. Heater 80,000 BTU Portable Propane Convection Heater. I have it hooked up to a 20lb propane tank and it's worked great. Just make sure you have good ventilation.

@KevinVo Thanks for the info. How big is your garage roughly and how are venting it? Sadly I don't have any windows to open in mine and cracking the garage might defeat the purpose 🤣
