I saw those today. $81 seems a little steep. $60 seems about right.

It has more to do with jacking point spacing than the actual car length/weight. We had an Acura TL (2nd generation) and an E61 BMW 5 series and neither one aligned well with the 5000# QJ. Even my E46 has odd placement of the jacking points. If you measure the jacking locations and compare it...

Nice work. Far out of my skill set but they look like something that would be sold commercially.

Interesting concept. Feel free to PM me pricing info. I hate the way the wheels make it hard to slide the units when setting up and stowing them.

My 5000 also holds in place regardless of lift height.

My 5000 came disassembled. Consistency isn't really the rule here.

Same here. Loaded it is fine. Bare there is an issue with different lowering rates.

1. Same with mine. Looked like the truck monkeys tossed them around. 2. I got 2 sets of fittings. The original set were poorly packed but the revised set were packed by themselves and were secure. 3. Cant remember- it has been too long since I got it. But IIRC they are expensive so I'd be...

Probably not. The frames are pretty long. Maybe in a wagon or SUV but I dont know about a sedan or even a hatchback.

Dead link. Does anyone have an updated link? I went to the site and had no luck.

It seems like if you split the hose like I did that it would be easy to just pull the car onto some 2x8 blocks running horizontally across the car, then slide the QJ under the car form the outside with the hoses routed outboard of the front wheels. I have done this with my E30 (minus the 2x8...

I put them in the center and pull them out to align with the frame rails but you can slide them in from the outside. The only headache with that approach is that the hydraulic lines are a bonded side-by-side design (like speaker wire or lamp cord) and you have to split the 2 lines to allow them...

I considered the EZCarlift but after the owner of the company openly insulted me in email I told him to F-off. Very glad that I went with the QJ anyway but the guy who owns EZCarlift was a complete @$$ to me in email when I was discussing pricing. I was in talks to be a distributor on some...

I don't know...i have moved mine all over the garage, moved the whole thing to my parents' house to do suspension work, and would not hesitate to take it to the track. Once you have it in 3 pieces (2 sides + the pump) it isn't bad. I can see where 76# might seem pretty heavy but I move the 2...

Marginally. I usually pick them up and move them. Only when making small adjustments to the position do I bother utilizing the wheels.
