Update on my pos! I was pulling my wheels to get them powdercoated GTsilver this week. I startef to lower it to the first lock spot when it started falling faster than normal. I let off the button and it went to the ground in his own. Not this pos will not lift my car an inch. Still wondering what the hell im gonna do to get it off the ground. Luckily my rotors did not hit.

There are stoping points......2 of them. But if you have the lock mechanism turned it will not stop. I was trying to lower it just lower than the second lock point since it was gonna be sitting for a few days. My buddy has one and hes bringing his motor over tomorrow to see if we can get it off the damn ground. If not hes bringing his low profile jack but not sure if that will even work.

Sounds like it's a pump issue. I have seen 2 post and 4 post fail as well and 99% it's the pump if there are no leaks.
Just curious. What model do you have? The SLX version or previous? I know the pump were different. Mine looks like this

Back up,fyi.....dont lower the car, lower than the last lock point without wheels on. The jack basically could not get itself off the floor. It needs a few inches to get itself pressurized. I think its total bs.

On the 7000 version can you tell me the exact length? For example I am trying to get the 7000 to be able to do my Jeep but want to make sure it is not too long to do my Mini (shorter wheelbase)

Right, QuickJack support said it needs a few inches of travel to build pressure, so it was completely flat with the car on it. We had low profile jacks, jacked each corner a few inches and once the lift had some room to move up a few inches, it built enough pressure to work as normal.

No, like I stated.....we had to get jacks, jack the car up a few inches on each corner and give the QJ room to buid up pressure and get going a few inches. We hooked all his crap up and same thing.....nothing.
