Quick Jack is an awesome setup. I bought mine 3 years ago and very happy with the purchase and would recommend to anyone. For most applications, the 5000 is the way to to go.
I dont know how this one got past me. I just ordered the 7k lb. Lift. Cant wait till it comes in. By the way there is a guy in Cobb county Georgia that rebuilt a c5 on you tube. He has a monster cam in his.
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.
Thanks Chris. I have been looking into something like this for dropping a non-corvette engine from the bottom. I think with the blocks there maybe be enough room. This is a convenient and economical design compared to others.
nice vid, i have the same. you might want to get some lift pucks to insert in to the lift points. otherwise its possible to crack the lower rocker plastics.
That’s very cool!!! But I am one of those guys that takes safety far too seriously, I would have jackstands and blocks in places too just to be sure I don’t get pancaked. 🤣
@Chris do you remember how much you paid? I seem to remember this sale going on a couple years back and I think they were $895? Now...$1450 is the cheapest I've seen.
Thanks for the video, I am a new c5 owner and will be buying a set of these ASAP. Quick question, where did you place the jack platform and where are the blocks lifting the car from?
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
What would you be using the 7000 capacity for? All 3 of the cars mentioned will work with the 5000. Unless you are working on full size trucks, the 5000 is more than enough.
Looks like your local Costco had a sale on garden tools too. Hahahaha Nice garage. I like the paint scheme. Surprised you didn't go gray wall with Black and Red stripes at the top to match the Vette!! BTW, that C5 seat has seen better days. Hahaha No damage to the side skirts?
Chris does your local Costco carry these? My local Costco, I’ve never seen them. I wonder if they still sell them on their website? I will check. What Costco do you go to? I live in Mesa so I go to the one closest to my house. Thanks for the demonstration on those lifts.
Can this be permanently installed on the floor? And can you drive over it? Or do you have to slide it under each time you use it? Looks great, never seen them before
Awesome. What a smokin deal from costco too! Do you happen to know the minimum distance on the lifting playes on your quick jacks? The 5000TL is 37" and that isnt short enough to hit the lifting pucks on a c5
BIG QUESTION? My C6 Grand Sport is lowered. Will the Quick Jack slide under? IN ADDITION, do you need both pucks and the block, or only the block. I've been looking at the Quick Jack but I've never jacked up my car.
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.
Greygoose c5 using both sets of blocks, it will raise it high enough to remove the rear cradle. You’ll have to lift your car a bit with a jack to get both sets of blocks under it initially.
Sweet video Chris. Quick question,..when you did your radiator service video with those adapter tools did that lower you temps at all?. I'm constantly 220-225 around town and the car being 20 years old has probably never had that done and dirty.
18-21” depending on what blocks you use. That doesn’t sound like a lot but if seen people drop transmissions out with this. It’s plenty for 95% of jobs.
@@mycorvettelife I appreciate it I have a 94 C4 that's immaculate and was looking for a safe way to lift it i may get one of those or a drive on lift with scissor jacks
Love how clean the garage is. Good job. And the lifts are good enough for most jobs. Good stuff
Got mine today! Now I can detail my Corvette and change my oil.
I just got mine yesterday. I'm excited about being able to get the car at a comfortable height to detail it also. (C6)
Quick Jack is an awesome setup. I bought mine 3 years ago and very happy with the purchase and would recommend to anyone. For most applications, the 5000 is the way to to go.
Costco did have an awesome deal. I just wasn't in a financial spot at the moment to buy but I doubt you'll find these cheaper for a long time.
Drive Hub is his channel. Between your channel an his yall have taught me so much. I want to say thank you.
I see you switched them, from the first demo, due to the locking mechanisms being on the inside track. Smart man.
Very interesting , I'm interested in getting these too. My C5 Corvette would love them too....
They are great.
Man thats bad ass..................I must get one.!!!!........JB..
ok, just got one.....need to put it together...And try it out...........✌
Nice video! Thanks for helping all of us. Tim in Colorado.
That is something I may only use occasionally, but got to have! Way cool. Thanks Chris for helping me add to my garage collection.
I was looking into one of these lifts. I’m glad I saw your video. I LIKE IT!
Just ordered one today for my 1987 C4.
Wish my garage was so organized as yours. But I can still fit both cars in it. Never seen this jack. Really informative. Thanks!
Ordered just now...Have the Mobile 1 filter/oil ready, going to be nice putting the Speedway White c5 up now!
Very nice! Good choice.
I dont know how this one got past me. I just ordered the 7k lb. Lift. Cant wait till it comes in. By the way there is a guy in Cobb county Georgia that rebuilt a c5 on you tube. He has a monster cam in his.
I definetely need a set like that! Thanks from Spain tho!
Man....i need this for my garage(2004 vette).Thanks for the video.
well that is good for flat spots on tires from storage
Just bought a C3 and I'm definitely going to need this! Thanks
This would be worth a Costco membership. Just need to wait for the next sale.
Thanks for the review Chris! That's next on my list for my garage
I just bought the 5000 tl ,the jack pucks don't line up about 3inch difference

I gotta do the same thing but I'm not convinced it will be high enough.
Garage looks awesome! Love my Quick Jacks!
Nice 👍
Good way for storing car in Iowa winters or minor repair work.
You should dub in Benny Hill music while you're fast-forwarding during the unboxing
Wow Chris that is very nice and convienant.
nice vid, i have the same. you might want to get some lift pucks to insert in to the lift points. otherwise its possible to crack the lower rocker plastics.
I have pucks.
You are awesome
Nice vid. Any update on how these are working 2 years in?
I just picked up one of these two days ago. Have yet to set it up.
The jacks look cool
That’s very cool!!! But I am one of those guys that takes safety far too seriously, I would have jackstands and blocks in places too just to be sure I don’t get pancaked. 🤣
It’s pretty safe. Each frame is the same width as a 12 ton jack stand, and 60” long.

ruclips.net/video/l64_lo1hOM8/видео.html
I thought the same.
Garage is fuckin spotless!
Your orientation says that your Corvette engine is toward the back is that right
Scary stuff, but seems safe enough!
But you’d trust the Jack stands from harbor freight?

You don’t lift on the side skirts.

No, they are portable.
Definitely would have been useful during our side skirt and front bumper lip installs hows the family?
Everyone is doing great! Avery is growing up so fast already.
@@mycorvettelife only going to get more fun man
Awesome. What a smokin deal from costco too! Do you happen to know the minimum distance on the lifting playes on your quick jacks? The 5000TL is 37" and that isnt short enough to hit the lifting pucks on a c5
i remember when i suggested you get some sort of lift and you responded by insulting me
Ooouf
Crow is best served cold.
How do the rubber blocks fit in the rocker slots where the pucks go in? Do they make any contact with the painted surfaces of the car ?
you leaking oil, 3:46 . are oil leaks an issue or just user error?
Very cool. I must have them.

does this lift the c5 high enough to drop out the driveline?
Yes
U lucky Dog!!!
Which particular model you purchase that will work best with C7 corvette
I have a 3500
These are awesome! Definitely need a set, do you think these will lift the car high enough to pull the torque tube, transmission and rear diff?
Greygoose c5 using both sets of blocks, it will raise it high enough to remove the rear cradle. You’ll have to lift your car a bit with a jack to get both sets of blocks under it initially.
I’ve seen people do it on jack stands so I’m sure you could.
How stable are these? Is it safe to get under the car to work on it?
Very stable
Buy see electric impacts. It sucks using a ratchet as much as you do. You won't regret getting one.
Sweet video Chris. Quick question,..when you did your radiator service video with those adapter tools did that lower you temps at all?. I'm constantly 220-225 around town and the car being 20 years old has probably never had that done and dirty.
Those temps are normal, but if it’s never been done I would do it.
I am debating on Jack stands vs 4 post lift. What is your celling height? It looks low.
8’. I can’t fit a 4 post, that’s why I went with Quick Jacks.
Hi Chris , what lifting pucks do you use on your Quick Jack ? I'm looking for a set don't know which ones to get ...
Hockey pucks
I would still use floor jacks. I dont trust anything from Costco.
They are not Kirkland…
how much clearance between the fully lowered q.j. and the jacking points on the car?
Depends on your ride height.
@@mycorvettelife i meant how was yours
hi Chris what brand of the quick jack do I need to buy for a c4 corvette?
QuickJack - I have the 5000SLX. Works for the C5 and C4 and I’ve used it on a dozen other vehicles.
Any damage to the garage floor? I have a finished floor
No
Which model did you buy
5000
How much was it ?
$1500
Do you know how much clearance it'll give ?
18-21” depending on what blocks you use. That doesn’t sound like a lot but if seen people drop transmissions out with this. It’s plenty for 95% of jobs.
@@mycorvettelife I appreciate it I have a 94 C4 that's immaculate and was looking for a safe way to lift it i may get one of those or a drive on lift with scissor jacks
How much was this? Do you still recommend it?
$1500, yes absolutely
Does it lift high enough to get the trans out?
I wouldn’t want to, but I’m sure you could. I’ve seen people do it on jack stands.
The blocks come with it, not sold separately.
How much did Costco have them for? Thanks
Normally $999, I got mine on sale for $899.
My Corvette Life wow great price, I see they got it for 1199.00
You got a toy for a toy
i think its not really safe
It’s very safe. Probably the safest vehicle lift on the market.
What is the lowered height? My C5 has 2.25 inch clearance under the pucks.
I don’t know off hand, but with my splitter and side skirts it’s low.
Price?🤔
From Costco on sale for $999 plus $100 mail in rebate. They retail for $1400 normally.
@@mycorvettelife. Ok
Appreciate the info.
Looks like a death trap
Why did you not open the doors or hood and trunk due to stress on the fiberglass body
You only need to do that if you’re are lifting 1 corner.
