Overall, the setup is very simple. My recommendation is to follow the instructions to the T and if needed uses this video below as a visual. The only tools I needed were a bike pump, 6mm hex wrench, adjustable wrench, and second adjustable wrench wouldn't be a bad idea but I used a adjustable locking plier as it was 10 pm and too late to go to the store. The only difficult part of this whole process was obviously lifting the frames and giving it your hand/elbow to torque it down. A lot of these components require torque? I don't know how else anyone could torque this but I'm willing to learn. haha

My setup is little different than many but not rare either. I got swisstrax on the floor.. Part of the reason I went with the QuickJacks purchase was I noticed my previous individual jack stands were damaging the swisstrax a little. You could see there was an indention being made after each use. Not a big deal tho, you can easily swap out an individual piece of swisstrax. With the QuickJacks, no damage to the swisstrax was made. Bonus!
Things to know with QuickJacks
-As the car is raised the rear tires on the 350 gives it a bit of resistant. Most likely do the the e-brake, I did not see anywhere about releasing that first so just an fyi, it may create some wear and tear on the ebrake system. Probably not any to worry about.
-As you're coming down and about to settle the car down, let's say 4 inches before it hits the floor the quickjack system may move a bit as the tires begin to connect with the floor. This may not occur with concrete as the swisstrax allow things to slide easily
-With Swisstrax you can easily glide the QJs underneath the car but this may be considered a undesired behavior.
-Medium blocks that are included work the best and do not invest in the QJ Pinch Weld blocks as there are better systems out there like the (0.39") size below: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078J55SBW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-I overfilled the reservoir on the power unit at 2 1/2 quarts so I would suggest pour the 2 quarters and then pour the rest 100 ml at a time. You need to be 1/2 an inch from the fill hole and it comes fast.
-Do not test the quickjacks with just your body at any time. You'll have a lot of fun coming up with ways to put weight on the system so it can come down. Try to listen to what they say and actually use a car to test it out with; it will be fine.
Storing it away? it's heavy. I'd suggest one on the left sidewall and another on the opposite wall. Obviously it may be an eye sore to some but it would be the most efficient way to carry these to the car when it's time. @nmp1 offered a great picture on how he hung his on the wall. QJ does sell their own mount bracket if you prefer to go down that route.
