Thanks, I need to figure out if the lowest point on the car will clear 3 inches. I think it will but I better make sure. You say it held up without dropping, was that on the safety lock or not? Are there multiple lock positions or just one at the fully raised height? Has anyone ran into a cheaper non power version? I don't mind it taking longer to lift since it's primarily for storage purposes.
Does anyone have a portable auto lift?

I knew this, I was wondering what the current owners felt about the product after having it for awhile. Thanks though.
I didn't so googled and decided to share. I follow them and somehow missed it... I am still in the market.
If that's all it's for, there are much cheaper solutions. I think these go for ~$1200. For far less you could just get some wheel dollies that would prevent flat spotting.
I keep thinking about a quickjack, but at some point I'll be looking into a 4 post and then I really wouldn't need one.
You will love it, buy the 'pinch weld' lift blocks if your working on unibody cars though!
I wrecked two of my blocks normal blocks on pinch welds before calling them about it.
Thanks [MENTION=126]Dasfinc[/MENTION]. I actually bought a ZL1 Addon that actual attaches to the front pinch weld and makes a nice flat surface to lift from. The ZL1 is a "U" shaped metal piece. The rear of my car actual has a built in round lift point which works great too.
Had the car up in the air today and it worked great. It was a little freaky coming down the first time as it came down rather quick but after that it was fine. I do have to admit I still didn't feel comfortable getting under the car with this unit, it's being able to trust it. I threw my jackstands under the Quick jack just in case. A buddy and I swapped out my exhaust which is one piece from the CAT back, very awkward and heavy. I have two factory exhausts, one modified one stock. I will say, to me it was the Perfect height to work on. I was not claustrophobic as it was much higher than jack stands and with the QJ's on the edge of the car there was a lot of room for both of us to be under there. It was actually nice to work on the car. I really wish I had this when I had my GT500 as I did so much work on it on jack stands, added a picture of one of the cluster fucks I had when changing a UCA.
Real happy so far. Only thing I wasn't keen on is I had to buy the "ext" edition since the Challengers jack points were not reachable with the standard QJ. These things are heavy and not easily maneuverable and storing them will be a pain until I build or add some hooks. Here are some pics, I tried to add a video but I can't through Tapatalk. Kind of hard to really tell how high it got but it's up there.

I actually had trouble getting it to 50psi, it was either to much or too little. I will recheck that, thanks!
Honestly it took me alittle bit to get comfortable laying underneath car on lift. But I have had zero issues that have no had me trust in the lift. Every time I start to raise car I always give it a good rock and it feels very stable. I did have to use a jack stand under front kmember after removing IRS and fuel system it seemed lift the car was way front heavy. I really enjoy this lift, I feel safe, and it is very well built.
Just an update post; I continue to use my Quick-Jack BLX 5000 several times a week, and it continues to be flawless and easy to use.
I DO wish it felt a little more stable with the SUV 'lifting posts' in place, but it is DEAD stable with cars on the blocks.
Specifically sitting on the 'second lock', I can comfortably navigate around under any car easily while on a crawler.

My garage is really small for 4 post car lift, how many inches does the quick jack move the car to the front/back between up and down?
That garage the floor is tilted some, when I let go of parking brake car would slide back slowly, not very slowly it's more than slow actually. Noticed a decent amount of difference in coolant level when I park it on leveled ground. Don't use quickjack in that garage or a little tilt in the ground is ok?

Yes this is a cantilever style lift as it will move the car front or back depending on positioning of lift about 6ā. So keep that in mind when using with garage door open and not being able to close door and you have all the brakes and wheels off and itās a total mess now!! Happened to a friend I heard.....
