@@Miguelsgarage There are a couple of factors that determine which QuickJack you need. - The distance between your front and rear lift points (lift point spread) - The distance between the lift points and the ground (ground clearance) - The distance between the tires (tirespread) - The weight of the vehicle Why a list is not ''super simple'': - The distance between front and rear lift points is not public information, so you won't be able to determine the QuickJack model needed lenghtwise (TL, TLX or ELX) - The distance between the lift points and the ground (ground clearance) is not public information, so you won't be able to determine if you need the 5000 or 7000 - People have modified cars (lowered, bigger rims, or whatever) and might not even know it. A list will give a false perception. If you have a lowered car, the ground clearance changes, if you have different wheels, the tirespread could change. - Car manufacturers change their models, designs all the time. For example, newer BMW's have a way bigger lift point spread than they used to have. If QuickJack would say: 3-series will fit 5000TL model, that might not be the case in the newer model. - If you have multiple cars, you want ONE QuickJack to fit both. Meaning, QuickJack would have to make a combo list of all suitable QuickJack models for each car, so you can cross check if both models are listed on separate cars. And then there’s accessories combo’s: Example: you own a small Porsche and a Truck. The Porsche has tight tire spread and can only fit the TL. The Truck has a big lift point spread and need the TLX. Solution: TL + extension frames. If you are spending a couple of grand on a tool, why not take 15-20 minutes to measure your cars and check the measurement sheet. Or use this calculator: measurement.quickjack-nederland.nl You can fill in the measurements for as many cars as you want and the calculator will tell you which QuickJack you need. I don’t think the video and it’s caption, your lack to investigate in a product is entirely fair. Edit: The list of vehicles in your video shows the visual locations of lift points but not a single measurement, which is really important to know to determine a QuickJack model.

I appreciate you taking the time to put together your explanation above. I touched on some of those points in my video and they do have the information above listed on their website. However, lift points ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT part when buying one of these. My QuickJack fits perfectly. All the measurements are correct, EXCEPT for the lift points. They do not line up and there's no mention of lift points on their website. I've come up with a solution. I'M GOING TO LIFT THE CAR SIDEWAYS!! Stay tuned!

Can you post a video when you figure it out please. I’m a 944 owner and would love a QJ but I’ve been suspicious that they won’t work with my car given it’s unique lift points. Thanks, Miguel.

It is not a problem, you are trying to make this a problem. I own a quick jack and use it on my wife's 2021 Mustang and my 2023 Tacoma and it works great, for the Tacoma I bought the SUV blocks so the jack will lift the Tacoma better. To ask quick jack to provide a list of every make and model of vehicle it will work with would be next to impossible because they don't have access to every make and model of vehicle to test it. That is why they show you how to take measurements so you can select the quick jack that will work for you.

no offense but shouldn't you know where the jack points are on your car

Yeah, a car made in 84, or any other pre 90's era car, c'mon. You know where your jack points are. Drop your tools and give me 20. Besides, if you have a garage that big, and that many cars, you're sort of past quick jack money.

On the cover of that booklet it says for vehicles produced from 2000 on. The last 944 I believe was produced in 1991 so you can’t be mad that it’s not listed in that book when the book is for years that are after your vehicle was produced.

If you don’t know where the jacking points are on your car (ie the owner’s manual), you should not be attempting to service it yourself.

So... you are looking at a booklet that says models 2000 to 2022 on the cover. Then you proceeded to look for a car outside of that range, then got frustrated?? It would be nice if they had more cars and I do agee that it would be nice to have the info on their website but.. that was funny 😅

@@Miguelsgarage lol...yes it does. It specifically tells you to measure the distance between the lifting points.

I would personally cut a notch in the rubber blocks. Then set them on the quick jacks and use the pinch welds under the car close to rockers to lift it. This is actually a lift point for most of the audi’s (Porsche’s). If not I bet you can order a set of block made with notch’s already off Amazon. Just a thought but not sure if it would work cuz I don’t have a set of these yet 😂

C'mon! If you know your car, you should know its jacking points! Use them with the QJ... simple easy. A standard car jack does not come with a car list but I guess you did figure it out how to use it to change a tire, didn't you? I've just bought one for my 1963 Falcon, can't wait to get it! And I'm sure it will just work fine without having a reference from QJ where are my jacking point😊.

Is the issue that they don’t list cars from the eighties or nineties in the manual?

You should know the jacking points on your car. Not the jack companies responsibility to inform on every vehicle ever produced. That seems ridiculous. We do have the internet. Is Sears still open?

I did not find a safe way to do it, either straight (in-between the tires) or across. If you use the assembly mounting points, you risk damaging the floor pans as those mounting points are meant to carry the chassis only (w/o engine, etc.)

How well do these work with a 4Runner - since part of the gas-tank armor shield is welded onto the frame?

Maybe if you can't figure out where your jack points are, you shouldn't be servicing your vehicle 😂🤡 Your inability to research YOUR OWN CAR isn't quickjack's fault. 👍

3:09 - my lift, purchased new three months ago, did not come with that book. And, I only received three boxes.

I use a 7000TL to raise an 1987 mk1b MR2 and no issues and also lift an e46 M3 along with vw and mercedes cars no issues

You can easily find where your jacking points are for that car. Quickjack can’t include ever vehicle ever made, they just included modern vehicles

Holy moly. All the people in here agreeing with this nonsense. Stop it.

I thought the problem would be too short of the wheel base and lift not fitting in between wheels. That would be really inconvenient. Lack of information is not an issue.

I jave a few different vehicles a 1970 VW Karmann Ghia up to a 2005 Ram 3500 , i need something that is versatile and kind of affordable so I'm trying to figure out whats going to work for me .

Their website gives you all the info you need to determine the correct lift. As far as lift points, their assumption must be that if you're willing to get under the car, you must own a manual that would have told you where to lift it from or a ten minute internet search asking where everyone else lifts theirs. "My fault for not doing my research before purchasing." Yes. Yes it is. This is up there with the people that knock Quickjack when they find out they need an air compressor to charge the cylinders.

Bro, you got to be kidding me.. the booklet literally says for models 2000-2022. If you dont know where your jack points are on your 944 and MK3 you are a joke.

TL;dr. Didn’t do basic research and measurements to make sure they could lift his car.

Your vehicle manual should have jack points, if not google is your friend.

I share your frustration... I bought a lift that worked for one car but not another. Bought extensions and it was too tall to go under the car! @QuickJack please get a database on what cars work with what lifts!!!!! PLEASEEEE!!!

Owns a Supra and Ferrari but no tape measure. Hard to find the measurements link in reality

Lifting points manual is very incomplete. Car's dimensions may change depending on the model year. My guess is that QuickJack does not want to be bothered to keep track all of the vehicles on the market. They leave this part up to you.

Would've been great if you showed exactly how it DOESNT fit?

Would ne nice if you showed what the EXACT issue is, A: to warn other potential users, and B: in case anyone has a solution. Just an idea.

The reason they can't tell you if it will work with your car is that people modify their cars. Different tires, different wheels, etc.. You really do have to measure these things yourself.

So after 4 minutes of listening to you rag on about Quick Jack your argument is your car is not listed as a candidate for Quick Jack. Do the phrase "Due Dilagence" mean anything to ya. Do it?

Glad you posted this video. I was under the assumption that a pair of these would be universal.

Next to Germany. 2:if you are buying something for a particular job or purpose, that require special or specific parameters. This is your due diligence, or in your case LACK OFF!! Numb nuts

That is all???

Total click bait video. You can easily google how to lift each of the cars you have and then apply that knowledge to the quick jack. Thor measurement process worked well for me. Easy peasy.

You are a m o r o n!

I'm with you on this. I think they did screw up and have pile of SLX and TL frames in inventory and those are not practical for light trucks and Tesla model 3 and Y because the lift points are farther appart on these vehicules than what these models of quickjacks were designed for. You need to use them perpendicular to the cars. Now they have the TLX and ESX which are longer but they try to get rid of the shorter frames they have in inventory.

Yup, they don’t provide any information on vehicle lifting points. I was thinking about getting one of those. Seems like they could do better.
