These turned out to be a must have in the garage! Get YOUR QuikJack for the BEST price here: amzn.to/3mKkpO4 👍👍
You took the words out of my mouth. Well done and enjoy. And because you're obsessed, now you can start polishing the underside of the ZR1. While you were sliding them under the Vette I'm pretty sure I can't do that on my GS. I'm probably lower you than you now because of the coil-overs I have on it. 😢 Everything is a give and take and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. But the QuickJack is definitely a good product and several of friends have them. I think some of them can center the QuicJack and drive over them and then pull them out to under the frame. Save the Wave 🙋♂
They definitely make getting underneath the car a lot easier and safer that’s for sure!
It’s about time! I got mine couple months ago and love it. Have fun!
💯 they are definitely a must have in the garage!
Those quick jacks are nice !!
Thank you Justin for sharing
Thank you!!
Purchased the Quickjacks last Fall. Used them to install the Borla axel-back system. Noticed also that they do move the nose forward while raising. Like you, did it with the garage door open. Also purchased a kit to stow the installed hoses and now have casters to roll the jacks around. I have not lowered my Grandsport so no issues getting the jacks under it. Thanks for another interesting & helpful video Justin. Bruce
You’re very welcome! Thank you for the tips! I didn’t know there was a kit for storing the hoses!
That’s a very good unboxing to first-use video. No one needs to do another.
🫡
Cool jacks. If they fit under that bad >$$ ZR1, they will definitely fit under my V2 Coupe. Glad to hear you are finally going to go to the track. It's going to be great content. Would love to see your progress on the track over time.
That was my thought on it. If they fit underneath my car, they fit under everything.🤣
Excited for mine!!
You should be! They are insanely useful!
So glad you got the Quickjack!!!
Me too! I shouldn’t have waited this long! They are a must have!
On order! →. Great setup and how-to video! Nice garage too by the way dude! Ahh, back in the day!
Thanks! 👍
Thank you! I just bought the brand new 7,000TLX and absolutely zero instructions.. all parts and safety equipment in packs.. but thanks to YOU kind sir.. I’m putting it together now.
You’re very welcome! Thank you!!
The instructions are in one of the big boxes. You can always download at the website if needed.
Quick Jack looks awesome. Love the garage.
Not Fair Anyway…
You got the inside scoop on it!
Lol😊
Thanks, Jason!
Magnifique voiture😍
Wishing Quick Jacks would send me a care package like that!!
LOL I’d use this just to lift my Vette up to apply tire dressing!
😂 I may do the same!
🤣🤣🤣
just ordered quick jacks for my c7 z06
thanks for video wish you would of showed where to put them under the car !
I can definitely show that in a future video.
It's about time you got them. lol I bought the 7000TL for my mini and SUV and had them a couple of years without any issues. I didn't think they were low enough to get under your car but good to know.
That is the reason I went with the 5000 because it needed to fit under my car.
@@HorsePowerObsessed what is the width of the frame of 5000? The 7000tl is 1.6 inches
Nice garage ❤
Thanks! 😊
Very cool!!!
Thank you!! I love them!
Just bought some
Did you let the thread sealant cure for 24 hrs?
Sweet!
Thanks!
Nice ! Gonna get one for my 64 Vette and wifeys 63 T Bird. BTW those boloney skins need to be changed out...😂😂
😂😂😂 The replacements are in route!
Just to confirm, does the lift point spread on the Quick Jacks align properly with the lifting pucks on the car? It didn't look like you had to use a special attachment or unique approach to make it work but I want to be sure. I just bought a C7 Z06 with attached pucks and I[m thinking of getting this for maintenance.
Perfect for the c7 right out of the box.
Do you still need to use the jacking pucks with the Quick Jack or just the rubber pads they give you?
Both.
Cool 😎 !
Indeed!!
@horsepowerobsessed Josh does your jack gets from jacking point to jacking point? cus mine don’t and my C8 is lowered so i can’t used the rubber blocks wont fit.
I haven't tried it on my C8 yet but I've heard the rails aren't long enough. With that said, the back ones can rest further forward than the jack point without issue, just be careful to load the car up right.
Great video - Thanks! How long did it take you two to set the jacks up in total? Did you let the threadlock cure overnight or no?
Maybe 2 hours? I did not let it sit. I didn't have to. No leaks here.
Nice - Thanks
What is your minimum ground clearance on that ZR1? Also, do they have "pucks" that caress the lifting pucks?
My ground clearance on my '19 Z06 is 3.25" at the front of the side skirts and the front splitter, and about 3.35" at the front lifting pucks. I need to know of these will work for me, because that's not much breathing room.
That's the same as mine and my ZR1 has the leave in jack pucks, too. You should be good.
@@HorsePowerObsessed awesome, thank you sir!
What did you do about jacking pucks and fact that quickjack wells need about anoer inch to line up? Did you just let jacking pucks sit a little off?
With the bigger rubber block that I use, it only sits off by maybe a half an inch and that’s OK, considering the jack puck is about 2 1/2 inches.
I have a C7 do you have to remove the hockey pucks to put the Jacks underneath😊
No sir. Mine has them installed as well.
I have a C5 on coilovers and sets real low. Can you tell me the actual height of the jack?
I'll measure it when I get home but I think the highest part is around 3"
According to the yellow sticker near the ATF fill hole is its says "loosen breather before use" and "tightened when transporting." Does that mean you keep the breather valve loose the whole time while using it?
Yes, otherwise, your tank will collapse during extension, and you want minimal restriction when dumping back to tank
No the new ones are self venting.
Hello Justin , do you Recommend these Quick Jack ??? Also what is the price for this setup ? Please let me know ? Thanks Again JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS
I definitely recommend them! Check out the link in the first comment and in the description for cost!
How much do the quick jacks retail for ?
The link for them is in the description and the first comment pinned at the top!
Justin I assume this Jack is lifting up against the pucks? I have ACS ones that stay in. I think you do too.
Yes sir it is. I do have them as well.
Thank you. Do they sell these at Carlise corvette show? I thought I seen them with their stand? That’s a lot for a Jack? Is it worth it?
Nice job on the video . I did notice your side skirts and front splitter very dirty .
Lol yes they are. I was just caught in the rain the day prior to the video being filmed. She’s clean now though.😁
Hello , any problems with your lifter since you had it for a couple of months now
None. It's been perfect.
@@HorsePowerObsessed great 🙏I'll purchase one for the vette too thank u
6:11 don't you want to crack that "bleed screw" when they are pointed up so that all the hydraulic fluid flows to the bottom of the cylinders and the air in the system is at the top where the bleed screw is. Sort of like bleeding brake calipers.
The cylinder IS pointed up when bleeding. No idea what you are saying. When the Jack it dropped down the cylinders are pointed up.
@@executiveinvestments What do you call that Allen Key at 6:40? It that at the top? I don't think so; its at the bottom of the cylinder. Take it from someone that installed a hydralic lift system.
@@achristian7015 ur a clown. The Jack is in the up position. You don’t bleed it in the up position kid. When he drops the lift the bleed screw side is pointed UP. Why do you think he has blocks under that side? Take it from me, someone that has put together this system. You are WRONG and clueless.
@@achristian7015 what do you call the bleeder screw at 6:50? Is that pointed up? Yes. Kid, you couldn’t wait that 10 seconds for him to show the bleeding. Hence you embarrassed yourself by saying something you are completely wrong about.
@@executiveinvestments And at 6:22 where is that bleed screw where it is clearly visible? Below the rest of the system. Duhhh! The trouble with you over-educated types is you cannot reason. A bleed screw has to be at the highest point in the system and not below the rest of the cylinder. Now if he tilted that end higher than the rest of the system, he would get the air out faster. On my real lift, the bleed screws are at the top where the cylinders are vertically mounted.
Shouldn't you let the thread seal cure for 24 hours before you use it?
It says 10 minutes on the bottle.
I know that I wish I had read/known that. Complete mess. Had to redo all the fittings that required it.
Forget about the lift, what about the wing.. that's what I'm looking for on my C6
Stock C7 ZR1 ZTK wing.
The bottle of sealant says to wait 24 hours, but in this video you didn't. Neither did I, and now there's ATF all over the place. How did yours not leak?
I didn't wait 24 hours. I waited MAYBE 15 minutes. No leaks here.
@@HorsePowerObsessedweird, oh well, I cleaned it off and used teflon tape instead. Now it's fine, no leaks 🤷
@FoxHoundUnit89 interesting…
Do these work on your trx?
No. You would want the 7000lx for that.
Yeah. But I hear the 7000tl does not line up on the c7 z06 pucks
@Letsndy it might not. It’s larger for trucks and I know it won’t fit under my lowered car either.
2:57 Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!
?
@@HorsePowerObsessed My good sir,
Vehicle Identification Number... number?
Lol yeah I know… 🤦♂️
Take my $!!!
😂😂
First UA-camr to comment. Oh wait, we’re not doing the “first UA-camr” thing anymore? My bad. 😆 PDP!
😂😂😂
luv the QJ...one note of caution. When doing a job that requires you to compress the suspension while in the air, be CAREFUL !
With the car on the QJs and compressing the suspension with a say a floor jack...you can TIP the vehicle.
Ask me why I know 😑...caught the issue before going beyond point of no return
Interesting! That must take some serious force because this thing is PLANTED when it's up in the air on these things.
@@HorsePowerObsessed The job was replacing rear springs on a front engine BMW and was I compressing the rear suspension with a floor jack (upward moment). The QJ, positioned on low height mark, rotated on the front hinge point. And analyzing it, think of how the QJ lifts, the two platforms are offset to the front, thus their is more front overhang.
I think if it was compressing the front suspension, it would take significantly more due to lever arm length to the rear at the same setting
9:07 you think? A bit of a jab, but you'd never see tires with a cord showing or anything close to that on a Porsche.
I have the 7000TL and I'd say it's ok, but only if you're lucky and get one without a defective air cylinder. If you do get one of those you're screwed - the company will 100% not stand behind their product. They'll claim the air-assist down isn't "necessary to the function of the lift". Really? So if one side has air assist down and the other doesn't, and they drop unevenly, that's safe? And then when the vehicle drops to the ground and one side of the lift goes straight to the full down position while the other... doesn't. You need to wait... and wait... and wait for it to drop with no weight on it. Quickjack will claim this "is normal operation" and that "it will get better over time". If you invest a massive amount of time trying to get them to stand behind their product they will, eventually, after burning through every once of customer goodwill, send out a new cylinder. Yay! Until you get the replacement and the freakin' air side is literally capped off. Like intentionally made unusable. That's not a fix guys. Then they'll claim that the engineers decided the down-assist wasn't necessary and that they've changed the design on future models. But I didn't buy a future model with less functionality. I bought the current model with exactly the functionality I wanted, was promised, and paid for. Whatever. Too much time wasted on it already - I've written off the entire company as another skanky marketing hack with no integrity.
I still have it in my shop, but the company worked very hard to make me regret my purchase and it low-key pisses me off every time I look at it. And honestly the setup is inconvenient enough that even when I do pull it out - warts and all - it happens very rarely. Only when I have a longer term project where I know the vehicle will be on the lift for a week or two. Definitely not for things like oil or tire changes. It's just way quicker to use a floor jack, or even ramps.
Oh no! That sounds like a terrible experience:( for whats its worth maybe I can teach you some things about the QuickJack: The air bottles literally have no function when lowering a QuickJack with weight. The air bottles are inflated with approximately 50 PSI generating a little force downwards, while a vehicle will generate 1500 PSI downwards. Even with smaller objects like boats, lawnmowers etc you do not need the air bottles.
Meaning there is not any difference when lowering UNTIL the vehicle hits the ground and the QuickJack frames have to lower by them selfs. That’s when the air pressure might help a little. However over the year the seals of the cylinders will wear in and the jack will come down easily without this air bottle help. And before that happens, you can just simply push with your foot on the frame (bc you are already standing there) and it will come down all the way immediately:
Now personally ;) I would go with a low viscosity fluid (like iso 32 hydraulic) which seems to flow a lot better. Also if you are expiring unequally lowering WITH weight, you might want to check for air, obstructions and other issues. Its usually some teflon you’ve put in a fitting by mistake. You can always try to switch hydraulic hoses to see if an obstruction moves to another location.
Good luck buddy, can’t be that hard!
Surprising they don't include an essential component, fluid!
Where would a guy find that front bumper?
This is a C7 Corvette ZR1 and come stock with that bumper. You could find replica bumpers out there, though.
Do you ever need new tires. LOL
I’m in a permanent state of needing tires lol
@@HorsePowerObsessed 🤣
@@HorsePowerObsessed I need to figure out something for mine too. Their new but they won’t hook in 1st and 2nd. Same tire I put on the Z06 and they hooked up fine. Go figure.
What tire do you have?
You need an alignment bud!!
I've heard that when those are up at ANY Height the Locking Arm can be (Easily) accidentally kicked or bumped into which would cause the affected arm to fail. For that Reason and until i see a Fix for the Possible Problem I'll pass on this Product for now. Especially on a Car costing $100,000 and UP . MIGHT be Great for a $3000 dollar work 🚗, but i aint trusting those jacks on much of anything else. Just me🤷♀️
Definitely not a problem, but at the same time I would also jackstands if you are fully underneath the car just for that added safety.
The Gay fin, yeah LOL...
Save yourselves a shitload of aggravation. Throw that thread seal they provide right in the garbage and go straight to Teflon tape to seal fitting to hoses
I haven't had any problems with it yet.. 🤷♂️
That sealant is trash. definitely use Teflon.
Yep I can confirm I ended up having to use Teflon after all but two fittings leaked on me.
same here
Definitely do NOT use Teflon. You will be sorry when Teflon particles clog ur lines.
You didn't read the setup instructions first, did you? They say NEVER lift without a load (without a vehicle). The setup manual is downloadable.
Not getting into it, but its overpriced for what it actually is. A full 2 post lift is actually cheaper if your garage can accommodate one. The actual price is about half or less for these. Just saying, and im not advertising because many consumers might find the convenience of this quick jack offer better suited for them.
“If your garage can accommodate one” is the largest problem because most garage are not large enough for that
yeah, but you can't take that 2 post to the track or your buddies house etc. I doubt you can get a 2 post that is worth anything for ~700 bucks which is half of what a QJ sells for.
@@billhughes5081 Amazon is the reseller. Oh yes you can get this for 700 bucks.
Porch Pirates are buried in the Back Yard with GT 500 Fan Boys. 😳
SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!!!
Low Ground Clearance for ZR1
Better Off with TRX for Demonstration lol.
GUYS: Read the directions…. Don’t jack it up too high when bleeding the air out! OK😊
I wouldn’t get under any vehicle until I read the Negative Reviews on this device….
Just Saying!!!
These are very safe but with that said, I still put jack stands under it if I'm getting under the car. Can never been TOO safe.
Should have use that money for new tires, geez front ones were trashed, driving on Balloons.. Literally.
Bought new ones right after this video, actually. No worries!
Good! Safety first
HMU if you need to get an Amsoil account. You should really be using their racing oil to take it to the track. We have every lubricant you need for your vehicle.
too shaky video of steps, focus is off of the key steps - especially the thread sealant and the positioning of the elbow fitting, probably the most important part of this.
? odd comment
Buy your own and just follow the instructions 😂
lol spend more time turning wrenches and less time complaining about how people don’t show you how
Any videos of your garage? It’s a nice setup
I will have one soon once I'm all finished with it.
Im so annoyed they came out with the TL models a few months after. Got mine. Like fml
