Quick Jacks

Any one have the Quick jacks? I gotta say they are a pretty sweet set up. Just looking to see if anyone else has them and what you do for storage?

I am considering these. I would store them under the vehicle.

I have them and love em. I store mine stacked on top of each other on the side of the garage. I've seen others prop them up on top of each other and secure them to the garage wall with a bungy.

I have the SLX5000. We have a cinder block base that sticks out from the wall 2-4" and I lay them on the side there. I did order the quickjack hangers that are coming out this summer. I'll shift them there once they arrive.

I didn't know they had hangers! That's kinda what I wanted to do I'll have to look into that.

I've got a 5000SLX with the EXT extenders. I (and plenty of friends that come over for work) love it. I keep mine stored on the floor under the center of the car.3

One thing I did to mine is that I made kydex skid covers for the frame rails and ends. It slides across the ground easier now, and I don't have to worry about the paint getting scratched up/peeling off/rust.

ive hung my ramps sideways on J hooks on garage wall - i had them at floor height thinking it was safer, but i've since repositioned them so they are at waist height as that will make it easier to lift on and off

the compressor/hoses/accessories i mounted permanently in a wheeled cabinet and wheel it out when i need it

I have a set I use with my four post lift to lift my cars off the ramps to remove the tires and do suspension work and then when I'm not using them on the four post I can use them else where in the garage.

I love mine, I've used it inside and outside for anything from basic maintenance to engine swaps. Even fits nicely inside the X5M in their raised position.

I haven't hung mine up yet but I read about someone using simple hooks from Home Depot/Lowes. I plan on doing the same but bending the hook ends so they're more horizontal vs vertical because I have no desire to try and lift these things up and over the hooks vs being able to just slide them on.
