Nice that the vevor lift appears to lift straight up, I have the quick jacks and because of their design the car moves forward as the lift rises. Fine for most work, less so if you try to drop a transmission or subframe and want to use the lift to gain clearance. Plan your hose routing for the job, if you're doing oil changes or something under the front, set the pump and hoses to the rear so they aren't in the way of the creeper.
I think I'd put a cinder block under each wheel just to be sure......I remember seeing a video of the quick jack where he pushed on the side of the car to see how stable it was. The car didn't fall off.
I would see if you can stand on it and lower but I’m sure you’ve tried that. If that doesn’t work, only thing I can think of is maybe trying to drain the fluid out of each jack somehow.
I have a lowered mustang and I have about 4" of clearance to the rockers. What is the height of the unit fully down without the blocks? Vevor gives a dimension of 6.5" But that is with the rubber blocks. I am looking for the height of the unit itself. Thanks!
You can use pieces of 2x4s instead of the robber blocks and it gives you another inch or two and also drive the car onto 2x10s before picking it up too. So it works with lowered cars like that
I did the "drive on blocks" thing with my lowered BMW 335 and my QuickJack setup. Will be even better with the Vevor since there won't be as much guessing where the blocks need to go upon setting the vehicle down. The travel arc of the QJ makes that an inexact science every time.
I still like them. Used on my truck to do undercoating this week. Only complaint is how heavy they are lol but it makes sense for how much weight they lift. I really like that they lift straight up compared to slightly forward like quick jacks. I still recommend them and convinced a close friend to get them too lol.

As a BMW owner myself those lifts will come in handy for the dreaded oil pan gasket replacement lol

I might use it with a jack stand under each corner too. Can never be too safe
Thank you for the video ,I purchased today but is not coming down what I have to do?

If the car is up in the air with the locks engaged on lift, can you disconnect the hydraulic hoses out the way?
Yes you can, I do it all the time
I just received my lift yesterday, men is heavy, thanks for the information!!
Para qué????.
Great review! Just how heavy are we talking on each side? Just wondering how much of a pain it would be to move around
I think they’re 200lb each so maybe like 80-100lb of weight to lift?

@@Buildcultureyoutube Awesome, thanks!
@@mpm32rocks of course! I have a lowered g80 M3 sitting on them right now and no issues

@GoFastGator oh yeah definitely a pro to the Vevor. Goes straight up no guessing
what can i do if the jack is stuck on top with no load? I can't lower it.
I’m not sure I wish I could help. I don’t think you’re supposed to do that.
Maybe see if you can drain the fluid somehow
Maybe while holding the lower button put some weights on the lift or push on it to help it sometimes they get stuck I’ve seen
How do you like the lift after 2 weeks?
I still like them. Used on my truck to do undercoating this week.

Get a Johnson bar to help move them around. That's what I do. You can steer them around with the bar under the handle loop.
What’s the max lifting point spread with extension? I’m looking for 72-74”
How was the car lift delivered, why was it in the truck?
They couldn’t deliver it to my shop because it’s a tight entry. So I had to meet them at a nearby parking lot
It came in a big box truck with a lift gate
@@Buildcultureyoutube Thanks
lay blocks on their side
Very dangerous actually. Had a car slip slightly doing this. Best to stick to instructions.
