[DeTomaso] QuickJack Portable Car Lift - $999 at Costco - Follow Up

[Mike & Elizabeth Thomas]

I checked the specs on the SLX model, and with a max spread of 60", it would
reach from the front jack point to the center of the motor mount.
Alternatively, I suppose you could put it down the sides of the car using
the front and center jack points, and have a single jack stand under the
center of the rear frame rail as a stabilizer, since the side rear jack
point is still pretty far forward and not far aft of the CG.

$999 at Costco seems a heck of a deal when QuickJack want's $1365 for it.

Anyone with experience with the QuckJack portable lift?

Given that the typical Pantera jack points, at least to get the whole car
off the ground, don't run along the side rails, not sure if it would work as
well.  My jack points are the front corners of the frame where the jack hole
is, but I use the center of the three motor mount bolts as the rear jack
stand location.  I suppose you could angle this one in towards the center of
the car to do that, but not sure if that would be safe or stable.

 

Thoughts?  I don't have room for a full car lift or two post portable.
Costco has these on sale now for $999 for a set.

 

Thanks
