I recently purchased a portable QuickJack Model 7000TL to work on my Bronco.
I bought it during a special sale on 2/22/22 for 22% off -- thanks to @GToddC5 for the valuable heads-up! -- but was waiting for warmer weather to install it.
Installation day was today!
Below are a few photos, in case you’re curious about what it looks like.
1) All of the parts from the 3 main boxes unpacked…
2) Location I plan to use it in the garage…
3) Badlands Sasquatch 4D at full lift, using Truck/SUV adapters plus one rubber block on all 4 lift points (medium blocks in front, and tall blocks in back, to level the factory rake)…
4) Full droop on the front and rear of the Sasquatch suspension…
5) Clearance below rear Sasquatch wheels/tires at full droop (~6”, just eyeballing)…
6) Eye level for me (6’4” tall) — at center-line of the photos below at full lift — of the hood, rear half with top down, and spare tire…
First Impressions
5-Star rating! This portable lift system is awesome!!! To be honest, it’s everything I hoped for. Very easy to operate, fits the Bronco frame rails well, and provides plenty of room to work underneath.
Note: It’s technically not recommended to add any rubber blocks above the Truck/SUV adapters, but I wanted to see if it could be done and still maintain stability in the upper safety lock position… that’s now been confirmed! However, from a practical standpoint, it’s actually a little too high to work underneath comfortably, because I can’t reach parts and fasteners underneath without extending my arms constantly, which is pretty fatiguing for more than just a few minutes at a time. Therefore, I’ll forego adding the rubber blocks when working underneath and just stick with the Truck/SUV adapters.
I hope some of you guys and gals find this information helpful.
:EDIT: — A link to the current QuickJack Set-up and Operation Manual can be found on the Downloads page in the Support section of the website. I cannot post it here as an attachment, because the file size is too large.
