Just check the pressure in the cylinders BEFORE lifting.

like the user manual expressly states. You did read it, yes?

FWIW, since nobody will walk there in my garage when no vehicle is present, I just leave the QJ lifts centered on the floor all the time and park over them. To use, move vehicle enough to connect the hoses, position the vehicle back, then grab and slide them out to desire location to lift. Not like I won't be on the ground anyway after lifting the vehicle.

My shop/parts truck occupies that spot.

The real purpose of the ram air charge is somewhat misunderstood.

1 yes check the charge, before use.
2 The air charge is there to fully collapse the jacks.
3 The charge has nothing to do with lowering the car. The weight of the car does that.
4 Once the car is on the ground, then the air charge finishes, flattening the jacks.
5 The instructions say to NOT raise the jacks more than 10", or inches (2 tall blocks) When setting up, bleeding, and cycling the jacks.
6 Go higher will result in a pair of jacks stuck and not coming down & flatten.

Of course I purchased mine in june, so now they got cheaper. If anyone is looking now, they are on sale at Costco $300 off.

It's very easy to set up. Users manual is step-by-step. And you're over thinking it, LOL. Eyeball square is good enough; just use the side of the car as reference. The pump takes care of the rate; they'll both go up and down together.





You don't want to do this anyways. I assume you're thinking prevent tires from flat spotting? Not a thing. But not good to let the suspension hang at full drop for long periods of time. Well, not something I'm gonna do. What's your logic? What are you thinking is the value added?

I’ve left my ‘16 up in the air every winter on my QuickJack for at least 5 months at a time…so far no issues.

Mine is on Quick Jacks with tires removed and stored from Nov thru April. No issues with jacks
