These are the best prices I have seen this year or last year...!
$265 Cheaper than what I paid... and I used a $100 off coupon code.

These prices are ONLY good from Oct 30th to Nov 2nd...!
I have been using my BL5000SLX now for a month and love it.
So far...I have rotated tires...fixed an exhaust shield rattle...replaced a CV axle...changed oil and filter...found a loose suspension shield that was making noise...and adjusted the emergency brake.
I will be rotating tires, changing oil and filter next week on the Genesis Coupe and Cherokee.
There have been no downsides...other than the 76 lb weight when moving each frame rail around on concrete.
They are designed not to slide around on the floor when they have a car in place...but that makes them hard to position even by themselves as the entire bottom rail is making contact with the floor surface.
That moving around has also removed several contact points of powder coating. A nice improvement would be the addition of strategically located GS Nylatron pads on the bottom surfaces. But....those would then become a hazard if trying to lift on a surface, not perfectly level....allowing a lifted car to slide.
The greatest amount of time is spent positioning the rails and blocks to be parallel with each other and have the blocks contact the lifting points correctly.
Once positioned properly...the lift is great. Fast to lift and smooth.
Everything works as it should.
One nice feature is the ability to remove the power unit after a vehicle has been lifted and the locks are engaged.
I left the Subaru overnight with the power unit stored in the garage. Doing so also leaves no long hydraulic hoses to contend with when working under the car.
Once lifted and locked the car is VERY stable. I did not use any safety jacks after I was confident the car and lift were safe to work underneath.
One observation...when a car is lifted to the highest position...you will definitely need a low profile creeper if your chest is as thick as mine.
However, I could have gained some height by using the taller rubber blocks.
But the clearance for a large person underneath is tight with a standard creeper. Even at the highest lift position.
Overall...I give the QuickJack a very strong endorsement.
Wish I would have bought one sooner.
