348 QuickJack

I have a MaxJax and it's been awesome to have. It takes 15 minutes to setup and it goes high enough to drop the motor onto a cart for an engine out. It takes up a small area when not in use and just needs a 4" thick concrete pad.

 

Weird. I have to raise my 348SS slightly to get a Quickjack under there. But it works and I definitely use jack stands. Once you witness a jack failing, any jack, you will be convinced.

 

20-30 min to set up? Should be called the Slow Jack

 

I just did my car yesterday...5 mins to lifted from pulling the car in. I had to adjust an exhaust donut.

It's slow to setup due to car being really low and at lease in my experience the newer model has a very small success envelope for placement. That and you really should get it nice and square. It ends up being a lot of laying with your head on the ground getting it in place.. then up and over to the other side to do it again.. get a tape measure in place to verify and then back to the other side to move it a smidge back n forth.. 20 minutes later and 10 times back n forth you got it and you're beat from the up and down workout. On any normal height vehicle it would be 5 minutes.. and if you had a helper and 2 tape measures (one front one back) it may even be quicker.
Like I said.. if you make a jig or sorts to make the positioning quickly repeatable it could be done in about a minute.
