I have seen the commercials for the quick Jack on TV for the holidays and am thinking about getting one for my Spatz Buggy but the smallest size (3500lbs) is too long for the wheelbase of the buggy. Anyone use Quick jacks for their buggies? If so can you use them perpendicular to car? |

I have a 5000# quick jack i lift both my kickout SS and clone with.
Be sure to always check balance. I set the front a little lower than the back and never remove the front wheels first.

May not be a bad idea to put safety stand under back of buggy while on jack when doing work the "lightens" front end, even with removing rear wheels & tires...
YES with any jacking.... Balance point is about at rear torsion tube.... If you have not yet found out there will become a time when you will and it maybe a experience you will not relish..
