    Recommended Pinch weld blocks for jacking up the car?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I just got myself a Quickjack 7000LTX. Excited to use it shortly! For the 2019 Q5 with pinch welds I need to get something to hold the car up.

    How is everybody here jacking up the car? Is there a recommended "style" of pucks or blocks that will work the best with the Q5?

    Thanks!

    I use Quckjack's own pinch weld blocks. Had to saw a bit wider gap in them, but they work great. Are they worth the cost? That's questionable. But no problem with them coming apart or such.

    You can just let the pinch weld sink into the tall block, just don't ever stack the short and tall blocks with just the pinch weld resting on them. Don't do it. My normal config is the pinch weld blocks on top of the short blocks, been problem free.

    These are absolutely perfect! Being reinforced material, they don't compress under the weight of the car like all the others I've used before.

    Thanks - decided to go with QJ's pinch weld blocks. I didnt consider that sticking with their brand would mean I could stack them with the grooves. That makes the most sense. They are $$ but ultimately I want peace of mind they wouldn't split on me. I've bought cheap chinesium rubber blocks before and they just split down the middle and have been dangerous.
