Do you notice any wear on the bottom of the quick jacks from sliding them around? I’m interested but would be on pavement for most my work. I wish they came with bearings on the bottom. I’m just concerned the scraping would lead to eventual rust etc.

I place each side on cardboard if I use it on concrete and have not had any issues and it also makes it easy to move around. If not, your concern of rust is probably valid. Thanks for watching.

The sealant is likley and Anaerobic sealant, meaning it cures in the absense of oxygen. being out in the open air it won't cure and will stay liquid.

The axle travel up and down on any road, problem is the wire is fixed to the axle with clips, and at the top, which causes the harness to stretch, which causes the wires inside the loom to break, I would recommend not to clip it back on, but tie it out of the way, to have that extra slack, and will have more freeplay when bouncing on the rear suspension, easy easy

Thanks for the kind words and great video. Reducing 500+ cycles per day will certainly make the pump and everything last much longer. A couple of suggestions if you don't mind. Without a Cycle Stop Valve one minute to fill the pressure tank is bare minimum. But with a CSV tank fill time is not important as the CSV will not let the pump shut off until all taps are closed anyway. It would have been best to install the CSV1A at the well head between the well head tee and the faucet. That way even the faucet at the well head would be controlled and deliver constant pressure from the CSV. Then if you remove the extra check valve before the tank, as it is not needed, the faucet at the well head will work with the CSV on demand like everything else. The pressure relief valve still needs to pop off at 75 PSI in case the pressure switch fills with ants and fails to shut the pump off at 60 as it should. The pressure relief valve just needs to be installed on or after the CSV1A. The 3/4 port in the bottom of the CSV is after the working part of the CSV and is a good place to install the prv that is set at 75 PSI. Adding the CSV solved all your problems with the well pump. Adding another CSV will solve all the problems you will soon have with the booster pump that supplies the RO water to the house. That is a variable speed booster pump which will give you lots of problems. It doesn't use a pressure tank and does come on every time a faucet is cracked open, which isn't good. The CSV system doesn't need much of a tank but uses all the water out of the tank before the pump comes on. Your booster system would work much better and last much longer if you used a regular shallow well jet pump with a PK1A kit to control it. You can also use a submersible well pump in the RO storage tank as a booster, which also works well with a CSV like comes in the PK1A kit. Have pictures and drawings of a jet or submersible booster pumps with a Cycle Stop Valve when you start having issues with the variable speed booster you have. All the best!!
@fattysgarage17545 ай бұрын
Thanks for the feed back! Valve is working perfectly as expected. I agree that the variable speed pump wont last and am looking at both of your suggestions since I am familiar with both the submersible and jet pump options. Thanks again!

It's something that still frustrates me. I've had close to 100 reviews rejected. The reviews had images and/or videos and long detailed analysis, but we're rejected because I was critical. Yet five star paid/fake reviews that simply say "Great product" remain. My guess is that as retailers know that reviews can influence sales, they complain to Amazon about it and they're then taken down.

Yes, I would trust it. The capacity is well beyond 7000 pounds according to the company, but it’s not going to be recommended to exceed its rating. They have a video of them putting 15,000 pounds or more (can’t remember) on a lift to show what it can actually handle as far as downward weight. It may not lift as much though.

The question is, would you feel safe getting under the car (with the wheels off) ??? That's the million dollar question. I would not feel comfortable working under the truck (Wheels off) without supplemental backup jack stands around the pinch weld of the vehicle. Thoughts?
@fattysgarage17547 ай бұрын
I also have jack stands and would use them if I was under it and felt it was necessary, wheels off would definitely justify this. Can’t be too safe. These can withstand over 15,000 pounds on top of it in the locked position. Company has a video showing this. These type of things are usually way underrated but any lift can fail if the stars align just right.

Will assemble it in the next few days.
@user-dq8ij1tz4w9 ай бұрын
I have the TL and I'd say it's ok, but only if you're lucky and get one without a defective air cylinder. If you do get one of those you're screwed - the company will 100% not stand behind their product. They'll claim the air-assist down isn't "necessary to the function of the lift". Really? So if one side has air assist down and the other doesn't, and they drop unevenly, that's safe? And then when the vehicle drops to the ground and one side of the lift goes straight to the full down position while the other... doesn't. You need to wait... and wait... and wait for it to drop with no weight on it. Quickjack will claim this "is normal operation" and that "it will get better over time". If you invest a massive amount of time trying to get them to stand behind their product they will, eventually, after burning through every once of customer goodwill, send out a new cylinder. Yay! Until you get the replacement and the freakin' air side is literally capped off. Like intentionally made unusable. That's not a fix guys. Then they'll claim that the engineers decided the down-assist wasn't necessary and that they've changed the design on future models. But I didn't buy a future model with less functionality. I bought the current model with exactly the functionality I wanted, was promised, and paid for. Whatever. Too much time wasted on it already - I've written off the entire company as another skanky marketing hack with no integrity. I still have it in my shop, but the company worked very hard to make me regret my purchase and it low-key pisses me off every time I look at it. And honestly the setup is inconvenient enough that even when I do pull it out - warts and all - it happens very rarely. Only when I have a longer term project where I know the vehicle will be on the lift for a week or two. Definitely not for things like oil or tire changes. It's just way quicker to use a floor jack, or even ramps.
@fattysgarage17547 ай бұрын
Shame on them for not having better customer service. They should definitely replace defective parts without hesitation. The air assist only works after the vehicle is on the ground and there is no weight on it. This in no way causes the lift to drop unevenly. Sounds like thats their way to deny any warranty claims on the air assist cylinders.
@BalanBro29 ай бұрын
One thing that I started doing on my cars (and seems very apparent watching your truck being lifted) is to put the vehicle in neutral while it is being lifted. The reason is due to the arch inherent to the way these lifts operate. As the vehicle starts to lift, it will be pushed forward (or backward) depending on how the lift is oriented. What happens is that the Quickjack is trying to move your vehicle forward, while your parking pawl or parking brake is fighting this movement while the tires are on the ground. On your truck with longer suspension travel, you see this "fight" happening in real-time, with your Quickjack frames sliding, as well as the chirping happening in your tires as the weight transfers more to the jacks than the wheels. By putting it in neutral, this becomes a non-issue as the wheels will just roll as needed until they come off the ground. One VERY important thing is to only put the car in neutral and release the parking break after you just start lifting the vehicle a little. This way, some of the weight will already be on the Quickjack, and it will prevent your vehicle from rolling away uncontrollably. I also put wheel chocks a few inches in front and in back of the tires in the unlikely event that the frames lose pressure, so the car can only roll a couple inches before stopping on one of the chocks.
