    Might have to move some weight off the system if the hydraulic lift is borderline at capacity: Brakes, suspension arms, dampers, clutch pumpkin, etc… good time to refresh bushings :)

    I meant in the double piston "OMER" brand.

    I wonder what the minimum height is (of the KATOOL brand lift).
    Looking at the review, it's not plug and play.

    Yes the engine is back in. It took forever to get the sub-frame bolts aligned, but its back in and now I have to connect hoses and wiring.

    Million dollar question … would you do it the same way again with the Quickjack?

    Great question. Since I now have a set of Quickjacks, yes I would use them again. I had issues with the Quickjacks lowering unevenly and had to fiddle around more than expected, but this was the only problem...a few extra inches of lift would have been nice too. If you have used the old 2 jack method for engine-out service in the past and are looking for an upgrade, I would bypass Quickjacks for a better lift.

    Eventually, you get the tricks and it is faster.

    Lowering of Quickjack was the issue I envisioned. How confident are you the frame is bolted up square with the car at this point?
