Anybody got one of the Quick Lifts and using it on your A body? What do you think about it?
Thanks,

Are you talking about a BendPak quick jack?
I purchased one recently and love it.

If you are talking about Kwik Lifts, I have one and use it for my A-body and C-body. I bought it 5 years ago. the advantages out weigh the disadvantages.

Use with A bodies and a B body
Sucks if car doesn't run to get up but manageable with 2 full size guys to shove it up the ramp

Here's mine on my 5K cap QuickJack lift. In the pictures I have added a length of 2X4 under all for sets of rubber blocks that were included with the QJack. This helped clear the exhaust from the headers as they turn back in under the car. Pushing on the car fender will make it sway on the rubber blocks a bit. The rubber blocks I consider small and they distort more than I am comfortable with under load. I will be making some custom risers to replace the 2X4s and the taller blocks. One should be able to R&R a trans with this. .
Point of rear bumper to floor..... 35"
Rear tire to floor ................ 9"
Roof line to floor ................ 69"
Top of fender to floor ............. 52.5"
Front tire to floor ................ 12.5"
Point of front bumper to floor.... 36"
I have one also bought about 5 years ago. Love the safety and flexibility and when I move I can take it with me.
I set mine up so that I can bolt the bridge to the 2 front uprights and then I bold an electric winch to that and I have no problem pulling a non running dart up with or without an engine.
I also installed motor and trams from underneath using the kick lift.

Do you have a pic of how you did this? Would love to copy this idea
My question has to do with where you placed the rear blocks? I have a '67 Dart convertible and the QJ blocks don't line up with the frame members precisely as the QJ ramps are ever so slightly shorter than the front/rear frame rails. I see the 'Cuda has the front rails on, but no pics for where the rear of the car sits on the QJ. Thanks!

Darts 111" wheelbase?
I'm out as far I could go on the cuda. This car has a 2" X 3" tie in. I don't have the car on it right now but the rubber block is 3-4" in front of the spring eye best I can guesstimate from this picture.
I have several but on my other computer. If you want to pm I'll give you my email and I can load them up.
Shoot me a note on what you want pictures of and I will try and explain the process also. parishpbs@thinairnet.com
Thanks Dave! Yup, Dart is 111" w'base. I ran the QJ perpendicular to the frame allowing it to lift the car at the frame. Not my preference, but it's mentioned as an option in the QJ instruction manual. Thanks again for the pics!
