A while back I did my first lift with a quick Jack and it was an unsafe situation. The front of the car is significantly heavier than the rear much more so than the GT 350. This caused the back of the rails to almost lift up off the quick Jack.
It also did not help that pinch welds were digging into the rubber blocks.
I ended up getting some pinch weld aluminum blocks to go on top of the rubber standoffs.
This time lifting the car I went as far forward on the pinch weld as I could. I offset the quick Jack further forward than I normally do to place more of the front car weight on the quick Jack. That seems to have helped significantly , the car seems stable and is no longer sketchy.
Just figured I’d throw it out there for anyone who is considering using the quick Jack. Be careful with the jack position and weight distribution on this car.
I wish you safe jacking. ( get you mind out of the gutter )
