It is disturbingly awkward to move. I haven't given up on it, though. I've thought about how perfectly a railroad tie could be cut to fit the saddles. Grain structure must be considered when lifting at the seams.

Oh yea, and I got the bigger 5000 model quickjack so I could also use it on the trucks. So disappointed. My trucks aren't lifted, 100% stock.

Do you use the wheels? (sounds like a dumb question but I'm 90% serious in asking it).

Still heavy as fuck. And the handle on the other end is on the ground, so you can't just reach down and pick it up. You have to lift it from the side to get your hand under the handle. Someone really wasn't thinking in the design department.

*sigh* It has wheels.



It is a textbook unfinished product. I think the manufacturer held fast to a price point and cut corners.

Yup, but too niche of a market for any real competition. ...I think.

Probably wouldn't be too technically difficult to make something better, if you could navigate what is sure to be patent hell.
