Just wanted to update my thread. I've changed cars and got a 2024 Volkswagen Golf R and I can use the Quickjack without my plywood and the car is much more stable now. Same thing when I lifted my friend's Mustang. I guess something to do with the geometry or maybe the plastic jacking points on...

Did your F150 fall while you were raising it or once locked in place it kicked out? That's crazy. I always make sure they are parralel for sure, sometimes I'm worried slightly off but looked solid. Hopefully all was well no much damage!?

Mine will probably end up like this, I'm going to ditch my ziptied wheels I was worried for rust but it seems like it's not that big of a deal, you can always sand and paint over... maybe it'l even out the wobble more over time.

Oh wow I forgot about my post here I found out from Google. I want to say that my "solution" isn't always perfect, I find that it still wobbles slightly more than I'd want but I still use it. But I haven't really had a job where I had to bang on stuff yet so... I can only assume it's because my...

Thanks yeah I am in contact with QJ atm. I'm working on my car for real today raised it up again and the wobble is somewhat back.... I guess MondayI just perfectly centered in my garage?. I also glued 2x 1/4 plywoods together and using that now, maybe the thicker wood causes issue? I dunno...

Hey everyone just wanted to update, I tried another lift this time with the 1/4inch plywoods and that did it! The Quickjack is much more stable now and takes much more force to make it move, and the movement it now has is not so much wobble at the base but more so at the top and in the armature...

So I found the plywoods that came with the packaging. They are a bit larger than the base so that works, but they are much thinner than I thought lol, they're 1/4 inch thick. But there are 2 per box so I could stack them but I'm still not at 3/4inch. But yeah I'm hoping it works. I never had...

I saw that article but to me that seems more to avoid it sinking. Like for example if I put the plywood under both supports, wouldn't the jack still wobble but like just be higher? But hey I'll still give it a shot tomorrow. I need to find a way to make these work I love them if they can be stable.

Ah ok, yeah you're not wrong. I was thinking to of having cardboard the whole lenght of one support instead. But yeah I tried at corners and actually having cardboard on the outside corners seemed better than inside but it was still kinda wobbly and wasn't comfortable. I'm going to ask...

What do you mean by that it is conducive VS full bearing? Despite being compressive, I was thinking that it will compress to where it needs to be.

Actually I thought of a maybe solution, if I put some cardboard under the inside corners of the Quickjack maybe that will level it out and prevent the frame base wobble.

Ah thanks for your input. Yeah no, I don't believe the floor is 100% perfect flat since it has a center drain, so it has to curve a bit. They are on the locking bars. Didn't think the floor had that much effect. I've tried reposition the car to be more center in the garage but no success...

UPDATE: Solved issue, check post #15 I've used my Quickjack 2 times now and I've noticed now that at max height, I have this wobble. I have a short video of it but hopefully you can see enough what I mean. If I put it to the lower height it's fine and nothing moves. Looking online seems a bit...

Lmao I had to make an account. I am in the exact same boat just got the 7000TL a month ago based on what ever I get in the future for another car. Had a good deal with the SUV/Truck adapter combo. But hey the 20 lbs difference is probably not that much. And with some kind of caster mod it's...
