Locate Vehicle Curb Weight

You can find your vehicle’s curb weight either on the driver’s side door, in the owner’s manual, or online.

What is curb weight? Curb weight is the weight of the vehicle with standard equipment, full fluids, and no passengers or cargo.

Measure the Tire Spread

Step 1 — Measure the distance between your front and rear tire treads, keeping the measurement 3" above the ground.

Step 2 — Subtract 2" from the measurement in Step 1.

The result is your Tire Spread Measurement (Measurement B).

Lift Point Spread (Min/Max)

Step 1 — Measure from the inside of one jacking point to the inside of the opposite jacking point. This is your Minimum Lifting Point Spread.

Step 2 — Measure from the outside of one jacking point to the outside of the opposite jacking point. This is your Maximum Lifting Point Spread.

These two measurements become your Lifting Point Spread (Measurement C).

Ground Clearance

Measure the distance between the ground and a lifting point.

This is your Ground Clearance measurement (Measurement D).

Important There must be some space between QuickJack and your vehicle’s lifting points. If your car's lift points are resting flush on a fully lowered QuickJack, the frames will be unable to generate enough force to lift the vehicle.
