Bit the bullet and paid the price for a sweet set of these Quickjacks for working on the Corvette and even my Tundra as well!
These are going to come in real handy with some of the mods and projects I have coming up for the Corvette build!

#Quickjack #C5 #Corvette #Quickjack7000
Just set up my Quickjack 7000 today. It came with a thread sealant liquid instead of tape, and worked perfectly. Don't over tighten any of those fittings. They just need a good snug connection. Follow the manual. I have zero leaks. Very happy with the results. This will be a great tool. My Mustang is sitting on it right now, waiting for a clutch release bearing replacement. $1400 + tax, delivered to my home from Costco. Amazon was $1750.
Yea my QuickJacks already paid for themselves when I replaced my Corvette's subframe and harmonic balancer. Worth every penny! And yes Costco is a great place to save a buck on stuff like this!
8:55 The brackets are only designed to keep the quick jacks from falling over. The floor bears the weight.
Correct, that’s what I ended up doing. The quick jacks still rest on the ground with the brackets just keeping them from sliding down the wall. Definitely helps to store them in a compact way.
He literally corrects himself at 9:45 lol.
@@grandpajoe3754 Thank you Grandpa Joe haha, I forgot I added the clip in the video.
Great Video, just the job, I can hear how happy you are 💪
I really want a set of those.
They’re pricey but extremely worth it 👍🏼
Thanks I’m going to get me one
Of course! I’ve loved mine so far, highly highly recommend.
Corvette and tundra are the best combo. 🫡 16 TRD pro and 08 Z06
Indeed they are! That's cool to hear you also run that combo. Love this gen of Tundra!!
@@Addimotive the flex of knowing you have probably the best truck/best GT car you can buy 🫡😂😂
Nice !! I am looking at this same product now for my C5. Can you remove the torque tube and rear diff with this unit…?
I haven’t had to do a job like that yet, but based on the ground clearance you get at the higher lockout (about 2 feet) I think you should be able to get it out. I think the challenge would be working between the two lifts on either side and having to maneuver the torque tube assembly out in between them. I dropped my entire front subframe (because it was cracked) and replaced my harmonic balancer with the car on these (videos on my channel). These were a life saver and paid for themselves in one job.
@@Addimotive thanks !
@@One-way of course!
I can’t decide whether to get the ext or slx and it’s killing me. I feel like the EXT should fit 90% of vehicles
Pretty much out of stock
I have the SLX and then bought the EXT adapters for the times I'll need them. So far, with a garage of 8-12 vehicles at any given time I've used them.. never. Use the measurements they give you and if you find the SLX works for what you own, buy that. You can always buy the extenders later if you actually buy something that needs them.
@@teamlazydave That comment actually helps a lot thank you!
I had the same indecision, since I have various cars, a truck, and an SUV. I ended up going with the regular length model, and bought the frame extenders, short lift blocks, and truck/SUV extenders. This combo gives about the most flexibility this lift system can have.
Quickjack has a measuring guide on their website that will guide you to which model to get based on your car's dimensions and jack points.
Hey man. Did you ever lift your tundra? I measured my frame rails and the extension rails shouldn’t be necessary right?
I actually haven't had to lift my Tundra with these yet. Quickjacks' website has a nice guide on measuring things like that to see what model you need or if you need the extension pieces.
Do you have to leave it up high like that? I wouldn't want it that high if just doing a tire rotation.
It has two height settings. This was the highest (about 2 feet of ground clearance) and the lower setting is about one foot of ground clearance.
What is the best model for the 4th generation f-body? Would the model you have work?
If you Google “QuickJack Measuring Guide” they lay out an easy way to measure certain dimensions of your car in order to pick the right model 👍🏼
1600 at Costco for a 7000TL, is that basically the same model as this one? Their 5000 lb model is 1400.
I believe so? I would double check on Quickjack's website. They update their model numbers occasionally, but it may be the same one.
Is your car in gear when you lift or neutral ?
I chock the wheels, put it in neutral, then lift it up 👍🏼
I'd be afraid to go under. I would add a few sets of separate blocks just in case
These are made by Bendpak who is the leader in 2 post lifts. Very very sturdy, much safer than jack stands. I do though have a set of jackstands underneath the platforms as a second safety measure.
Was it worth it?
1000%… it made its money back within one repair I did that I wouldn’t have been able to do without it
@@Addimotive awesome. I’m currently trying to map out the placement for a set of NoWeeds exhausts. I don’t own the car or mods, but I will eventually lmao
I like how it leaves the underside completely open unlike the one piece units I've seen. Is there any question about how adaptable the lift block positioning is for all different vehicles?
I bought the same set as you and was wondering while you are letting it down and you decided to stop mid way dose it continue to go down even though you let go of the down button?
If I let off of the button they do not “immediately” begin going down. Over time they will just because of the back pressure on the hydraulic rams. If yours are going down right away, you may have air in the hydraulic lines that needs to be bled out of the system.
@@Addimotive So I called Tech Support and they said the problem I am experiencing is normal. So be careful while letting it down it could continue to drop even though you released the button. I was amazed at there response.
@@ffrcobra1 Good to know, thanks for the heads up. Good rule of thumb is just stay clear of anywhere underneath the car unless the jacks are set securely on either of the two mechanical locking points.
isnt the 7000 too long for this car?
Nope, they’ve worked great! Check out my later videos, currently have the car up on them right now doing some work replacing the subframe and harmonic balancer pulley.
If I wanted to be able to lift up my Tundra, I’d have to get frame extenders that sit on top of the quickjacks
@@Addimotive i thought 5000 series was perfect length for cars like mustang/corvette
@@winkawak 5000 series will work just fine as well. The number corresponds to the lifting capacity, the SLX, ELX, etc corresponds to the length of the quickjacks. I bought the 7000s in case I ever need to lift my Tundra, and the 5000s would not be able to.
@@Addimotive oh i see, which one should i buy for a mustang and a suv or mini van in the future?
Have you tried it on the Tundra yet? I'm interested in a lift and have a Tundra and smaller cars like you.
I actually haven’t yet, haven’t really had a need to get the tundra up in the air yet. But i might if I pull the trigger on a new exhaust system for it. From what I’ve read, I’ll need to buy the frame extenders for the quick jacks since the lift points are much farther apart since it’s a full size truck.
I also have a C5 and was wondering if you really need there blocks whe using the corvette pucks which I just received but have not decided on max jacks or the quick Jack my truck is a Chevy diesel 2500 crew cab
