Those are nice, I would still put jack stands in the corners I've seen too many failures. But all in all excellent and plenty of height.

II just finished setting up the quick jacks yesterday. Haven’t tried them on my C6 yet. While I was tempted to try raising the jacks after bleeding the hydraulics, quick jack instructions specifically tell you not to raise the jacks without the vehicle in place. No doubt it takes a long time to lower them if you don’t have the vehicle on them. Don’t know if there’s any other reason for it. Otherwise, a good demo.

Chris I want a quick jack. I'm torn between getting the 5000 ext or the 7000 ext. I own a C5Z, C6 GS and eventually a C8 ZO6. My concern is, Will the 7000 fit under the car? How much clearance do you have between the quick jack and frame on a fully collapsed 5000 on your car? We can discuss through e-mail if you need to. Thank You! Bill C

On a Corvette you will need a puck regardless. If you car is too low, my suggestion is to put a floor jack under the rear end and jack it up a few inches then slide the quick jacks in place.
