Quick Jack?

Too good to be true? Used 2-post lift in London for $800 (and dropping). If only I had the room (and the ability to inspect it for safe operation)...

Hofmann 2-post car lift car jack​

CA$800
Listed a day ago in London, ON

***WILL DROP PRICE $100 EVERY OTHER DAY UNTIL SOLD. IF THIS IS LISTED, IT'S STILL AVAILABLE.***This is a two-column carjack. The motor I believe is the wrong one, but it works (it's a 120 vs. the 240 which should come with it). Regardless the unit is in good working order. It's available immediately, first come, first serve. Thanks. Limit 6500 lbs.

I wouldnt be driving to London for that. Looks very well used and not well kept. The right leg may have a dent or it may just be dark blue paint.

If you have 12' clear, there are quite a few two posts around for $1500 or less. Shops upgrade and not many home-gamers can take the old ones so the prices are reasonable. Shorter lifts often sell for more as the market is bigger.

I've thought about one and I may eventually pull the trigger. I didn't pout the floor though. Plans called for 3 or 4" but when I was drilling for the four post, I had more than 6". Two post is a lot more sensitive to concrete. The right answer is probably cut and dig for footings/housekeeping pad but that adds a lot to the cost and effort.
 
CT has a Dewalt 3 ton long reach floor jack on for half price (until the weekend I believe). I just picked one up for the Ranger as I couldnt get my regular floor jack under the 'official' rear jack points. It is also low profile for those with sportier vehicles (3.35" to 24" lift).

Zang. Good deal.

My current jack ****** our some oil yesterday when cousin opened up the release a bit too far.

Car slipped off the jack as the lift points were so rusted on his car. Thankfully only 8” drop.
 
Holy cow - a Snap-On alignment lift with turntables and dual bridge jacks in supposedly working condition. Even if the hydraulic cylinders are leaking or in need of a rebuild, it would still be worth it. Bridge jacks for my Bendpak are $2300 each.

That’s a fantastic price! Too bad it would take up my entire garage!
 
Looking to swap out some suspension bits on the car's so remembered this thread.

Not sure that jacking up each corner separately is the best methodology...

But also the QJ I need for the maverick and odyssey are different recommendations so buying one probably not a great idea.

The last few times I replaced suspension I jacked all corners onto jack stands. If working under the car, I do another lap of lifting to get it higher. Lifting and lowering that way takes a while but it's cheap and flexible.

Will have to look into that process as I’ve never done it and seems wonky to me.

The hardest part is finding places for the jack so the stands can use the normal lift points. It you're a baller, you can buy the stands that fit around the jack but they cost as much as the quikjack.
 
If you jack on the lower control A arms and trailing axle arms you can then place jacks under the usual lift points on the rocker panel rails . Best to go around the vehicle in several stages than to twist the car body if you are not patient . Be on a level surface , and remember rule one , NEVER get under a vehicle on a jack alone , even for a peak at something.

What's the distance between jacking points?

I believe Quickjack offers an extension that sits on top of a shorter model to make it longer.

There's 5000 and 7000 models, there's TL models
Check the website for length and weight specs of each.

Like Garmin and many others, I think they have lost the plot and made way way too many sku's. Make only a few and everybody's life is better. Maybe something like two different weight classes and sell extension kits if you want longer contact area.
