Maiden trip up on the Quick Jack
First ride on the Quick Jack for my new 23 HTC. Pulled the wheels for ceramic coating the calipers and wheels. As soon as the snow stops here it goes in for PPF and ceramic coating. Love this Quick Jack. Highly recommended!

I always take mine up to the last notch (highest position), like in the pic in the post below yours. There is physically less lateral stress (X axis - horizontal) on the frame work of the QJ that way (more of it is axial - Yaxis - vertical) and should be safer (even though it is designed to take alot more weight than a fully packed C8).

Wow just had a DUH moment….don’t know why I never thought to use my QuickJack when I clay bar my C8 and when applying BeadMaker! I will from now on.
THANK YOU
BTW, you both have awesome looking garages.

I just bought and used a Quick Jack for the first time last month right after I got my C8 and love it! BTW...Love the logo decal/treatment on the inside of your garage door...nice touch in a good looking garage!
Check out the Biff's rear end sheet metal...Nice! (Other than the unfortunate Ford logo. ) I have a rear quarter panel off Tony Stewart's Mobil 1 scheme from his last season in 2016 mounted in my garage, conveniently appearing in the shot I took of my HTC while up on its maiden QJ voyage:

I’ve been trying to talk myself into a Quick Jack but really am not sure why I’d need one. What do you do that requires the car to be airborne? Oil change, wheel cleaning? What else?

It's nice for just cleaning waxing etc on the car. Easier on the body without having to bend over so far. Takes me about 15 min to set up and up in tye air.

What model Quick Jack lifts a car 3' in the air?

Another fan of QuickJack here. I bought mine while I was still on the waiting list for My C8, used it the day after I took delivery and installed jacking pucks.
