Quick jack exhaust install

Driver87 · 05-01-2021, 01:37 PM

Anyone else install exhaust under their QJ? I use mine for detailing mainly, but I'm going to attempt my AKRA install on it now.

I've got epoxy flow that always scares me that it could slip out. Something about being under the car pulling and prying scares me with the QJ, maybe my fear is unfounded idk.

Curious if anyone else has done work under the car with QJ's.

Be more assuring if they left room for somewhere to put jack stands as a redundant safety.

One things for sure I will get a real lift in my next garage.

Don't worry about it. QJ has 5X safety factor once on the mechanical locks. I've done lots of work under mine like dropping subframes.

Yep.

Yep, did the Remus race using quick jack. The only thing that made it difficult is that there wasn’t quite enough clearance to get sawzall under to cut the exhaust, so had to use the old school can opener style cutters.

Exactly what I had to do.

No issues on an epoxy floor here. Just make sure you get the distance between the two jacks correct. It is awesome having more room to work vs jack stands.

No issues here. I put some blocks under my tires for peace of mind but the QJ seemed rock solid.
