My friend has one. We used it a few times on his 968. Not sure if will go high enough for the XC90. my low profile jacks don't do jack on the XC90, I have a different jack for the XC90. QuickJack only goes up 18" I think and there is a rubber block to get another 4". Also, how much does a XC90 weigh? I seen some crazy numbers, but think the quickjack is only good for 2 tons.

Overall frame length: 177.8 cm (70 in.)
Lifting Height:
Collapsed: 7.6 cm (3 in.)
Frame only: 43.9 cm (17.3 in.)
With small block: 45.7 cm (18 in.)
With tall block: 48.3 cm (19 in.)
With stacked blocks: 53.3 cm (21 in.)
Lifting point spread max: 152.4 cm (60 in.)
Lifting point spread min: 74.9 cm (29.5 in.)

I don't know... I guess, to me, it's not that much better than a floor jack and some jack stands.

I disagree. My buddy has kids out of the house and a nice pension. He bought a quick jack. we put it together, then tested it by lifting his 968 to look for a leak. We didn't take the wheels off, and lifted, then dropped the car one or two times. It was nice. We then replaced the "batwing" under the front bumper/valance. having a wide open area to slide our heads under without worrying about backing into a jackstand was nice.

His control arms are shot. New ones are a grand each. Rebuilt ones are a research project. We settled on a company based on user reviews on a forum. He ordered both. They only have one core. They sent one, we took both off, and they will send his original back when it is rebuilt. In the meantime it is on the quickjack. It took a few minutes to raise the car. When the arm comes back we install it, tighten a dozen bolts, install the wheels and drop the car. His Stage 3 Roush wont have to be moved again because there is no jack to worry about hitting the car. We moved it back a few feet because I have a habit of talking with my hands, often with tools in my hands. In retrospect, with the quickjack we probably didn't need to roll it back at all.

Was what I just typed worth a grand? depends on how my back feels at the moment. Right now it isn't. Next time I work on the car in my garage I may wish I drove the 25 minutes and borrowed his quickjack.

Costco in U.S. has different item number and it us only $1,099.99 delivered.

I tried at a store. Only in a warehouse, not in a store. Before someone beats me up I know the stores are warehouses. So it is only from a warehouse to the warehouse that we can get one from Costco.

If I had to, I could have my XC90 well off the ground and on four 3-ton Esco jack stands in under 10 minutes without rushing.

XC90's are bleeding heavy. Mine says 6080lbs in the door jamb.

You are better than I am at jacking up the car. Two jackstands is easy. four with the car leaning and pivoting on just the jackstands scares the shyt out of me every time. And like when I use the spring compressor, every time I do I swear to myself never again. Until next time. A quickjack would have been nice in a fw weeks when I do the motor mounts on the V8 S80. I could easily raise and lower the car as needed when I hook up the cross bar to hold the motor etc.

We did it real slow following the directions. It is pretty easy. Once done you realize how simple it is. After the initial setup it is easy to just hook or unhook the two hoses by the four connectors.

To be fair, my 10 minutes starts with my jack, jackstands, and creeper next to the vehicle.

Jacking the front crossmember gets the front two wheels off the ground. Slide the stands in place. With the chassis supported, the XC90 is rigid enough that the whole rear end will lift up from jacking just one rear control arm. Not evenly..... but darn close. So jack one rear control arm, place one rear stand. Rinse and repeat on the other side.

I blogged it, here:

Thanks. Pretty much how I jack up the 128. The 128 has a pad on the front crossmember for the jack. I will try that with the S80 in a few weeks when I attempt to change the motor mounts. I have to first figure out where to hang the motor from. I have the engine support bar.
