Anyone use Quick Jack?
To continue the QuickJack discussion...
Received my QuickJack; main package arrives in 3 boxes. Extra options arrive in separate boxes.
Extremely well packaged, haven't seen 1/4" wood sleeves used as part of packages before.
Assembly is basically putting all the Quick release ends on the lines & pump and the fittings on the Lifts cylinders.
Charging the Air Cylinder with 50lbs air and filling the Pump reservoir with Tranny fluid.
@Lethal Tendencies has displayed above, there are plenty of QuickJack setup and several YouTubes on setup & assembly.
Short add-on...
All the YouTubes and older instructions indicate "bleeding the system" with procedure to tilt Lifts to bleed.
The new version doesn't even mention bleeding system in manual. In the Trouble section, it states a vertical method to bleed if deemed necessary.
The main part of manual states the system is "self bleeding" and no bleeding needed. It appears they may have changed the Pump's valve assembly block for air bubbles to vent out into the fluid tank.
I did try the old way of tilting & bleeding and got a very minimal amount of air that may have cycled through with a few partial lifts.
One caution they stress...
Don't remove all wheels and lower Lifts to near "full compression", the Lifts require a small amount of space to obtain the power / fulcrum to "lift". They indicate even with a standard lift, the Lifts need a clearance of 1" of travel before contacting the vehicle weight. I ordered the 7000 lbs Lifts, and haven't noticed the HHR even challenging the hydraulics... my 6300lb SUV may be different. They stress if you lower the vehicle below it's ability to Lift (wheels off), you may need to use a floor jack to lift vehicle a little to initiate QJ Lifts.
As @Lethal Tendencies indicates, these Lifts are awesome! Slid into place, short time to align Lift blocks and up she goes in 30-40 seconds.
You then lower the lifts a shot distance (.5 - 1") to engage their jack locks and all pressure is removed from lines... if needed the lines can be removed to clear floor space.
I did disconnect the lines just to see how hard it was to re-connect... no pressure on lines and they easily snap back together to operate.
You can take it up & down in less than a minute, making getting to topside & bottom a simple task.
They include small hard wheels at one end, to easily move Lifts to storage location. Also included is a small "grasp tool" that allows you to move the Lifts to position easily under the vehicle.
I purchased the QJ Lift Hooks, to mount on Wall... they hold the top while Lifts rest on ground providing a nice vertical minimal storage space requirements. I intend to add a shelf above the Lift Hooks to store all the lift blocks, SUV mounts and hose lines.
I'll add a few Photos to @Lethal Tendencies set. Since the Fuel line replacement was on my project list, I'll include a few of that area too.
Price varies a bit depending on Sales and Home Depot may be the best source... I missed that boat and an extra 10% Veteran discount but no complaints... few hundred difference.
For the ease of usage, clearance and small home garage storage... for my needs, safety, and 1 man jobs... these are a great package!
Looking forward to various tasks... detailing lower half easier, removing Ft facia cover, wheel or brake.

It may be in that position, but it can be used vertically (cross ways) too.... but don't know. I'd say no more than a dual posts arms? I'll look tonight, but from my memory... I thought the tank was open to drop. I'm on pinch seams, with it going up even on all points... pinch seam didn't bother me. But as all lifts, none fit all occasions.
If wasn't pursuing the fuel lines, would have slid in further to other mount points.
On the question of dropping fuel tank. As it's positioned on pinch seams... plenty of room to drop tank. Easily clears on both sides.
The JQ blocks have multiple seam grooves on each side of about twice the depth of example puck.
I ordered, but still waiting to arrive.
