Default Quickjack

I have been debating getting a Quickjack for a while. Anyone have one and have some thoughts on it? I do not have a place to put up a 2 or 4 post lift so they are not an option and also have limited storage space in my tiny full of crap garage. They would need to be carried down to the street since my driveway is not even close to flat. Costco has the BL-5000SLX with free shipping for $1099 which is a pretty darn good price so has me almost ready to pull the trigger.

Have you looked into a scissor lift. I have a scissor lift and love it. I just leave it on the floor under the car , so no extra space is required.

For home use, could easily be stored under a parked vehicle. And pump, hoses and controller fit nicely into a readily available storage tub.

Let me know if you want to stop by and take a closer look.

Yes, I would love to see them. I'll email you offline plus I have the wheel spacers for you.
