i have been looking at quickjacks for many years.
more often than not, the past year, as ive been getting to work on the cars and 4runner in the past year.
i keep walking away from it and then walking back to the quickjacks.
i need to either buy one or walk away for a year, as i have way too many other projects to figure out..
if you all could talk to me about quickjacks, likes/ dislikes within the context of the below questions.. much appreciated.
questions, this is the easiest one:
5000 or 7000 model?: having a trail, i have 350lbs of OEM spec headroom before hitting 5k lb rating and a few mods will get a trail 4runner owner there pretty quick.
the issue with the 7000 model is not the cost but the weight of the units, lifting 100lbs pieces is not the easiest way to start auto work.
but i probably answered my own question, which is 7000 model is the way to go and get some exercise with the 100lb pieces in this model??
2nd question: pinch weld blocks or truck/ suv adapters?
if truck/ suv adapters, where would you position the adapters, for pinch welds?? there is no pinch weld groove?
3rd question: for either PW blocks or the truck/ suv adapters, how much incremental height is the roof rails getting raised in the highest position?
i have a standard height garage (no high lift), so the garage door setup. the max height of clearance i have is about 17-19" before the 4runner roof would touch the garage door opener motor. (i cant be the only person with this type of garage door setup?), is this enough lifting clearance?
if not, i could use outside on the driveway (again lifting 100lb pieces)
