QuickJack 8000TLX Review: Truck Lift vs 8000TL & 7000TLX

Good fit if…

• You work on a full-size pickup, crew-cab truck, van or long-wheelbase SUV whose curb weight stays within the 8,000-lb capacity.
• The vehicle's manufacturer-approved lift points sit between 43 and 66 inches apart, the spread the 76-inch TLX frames are built for.
• About 21 to 22 inches of rise on the rubber blocks, or up to 26.75 inches with the optional adapters and pin, is enough for brakes, suspension, tires and fluid service.
• You need the garage floor back after the job: the frames collapse to about 3.5 inches and roll on urethane wheels for storage.
• You have a 110 V outlet for the power unit and two people, or a plan, to move two 103 lb frames.

Avoid if…

• Your lift points are closer than 43 inches. That is 8000TL territory (37–60 inches), not TLX.
• You need to stand upright under the vehicle or do transmission and exhaust work at head height. A two-post or four-post lift is a different purchase.
• The vehicle exceeds 8,000 lb, or you plan to lift a loaded work truck.
• Your floor is gravel, soft asphalt or sloped, or you cannot place the rubber blocks on approved lift points.
• The listing you are about to buy shows the 6,000-lb size, or no longer says 8000TLX.

What you are actually buying

This page covers the QuickJack 8000TLX, BendPak SKU 5175673, on Amazon ASIN B0F4HD1WXG. BendPak describes it as the highest-capacity extended-length lift in the QuickJack range: two 76-inch frames, an 8,000-lb rating, a 43 to 66 inch lift-point spread and a 2 HP power unit. The frames rise together through a pressure-compensated flow divider with independent shut-off solenoids, and lock automatically in two positions.

The same Amazon page also sells a 6,000-lb size. On November 10, 2026, the 8,000-lb option was selected and the title read 8000TLX with a 110 V power unit. The page did not display the 5175673 part number when read on November 9, 2026, so the size selector and the title are your identity check.

The Truck and SUV Adapter Kit is listed by BendPak as optional. The two highest lift figures below depend on it.

Buyer Checkpoint has not lifted a vehicle on this unit. Every figure below comes from BendPak's SKU 5175673 page, QuickJack's own compare table and measuring worksheet, and the dated Amazon page.

Lift height: why 24.5 inches is the wrong number to plan around

The short answer: plan around 21 inches on the 2-inch blocks, 22 inches on the 3-inch blocks, and 24 or 26.75 inches only if you buy the adapters.

BendPak's 8000TLX feature bullets say “24.5-inch lift height.” The specification table on the same SKU 5175673 page lists 21 in with 2-inch blocks, 22 in with 3-inch blocks, “max lifting height” 22 in, 24 in with adapters and 26.75 in with adapters and pin, from a 3.5-inch lowered height. We use the table.

QuickJack's own compare page, checked the same day, prints a slightly different 8000TLX column: 3.75 in lowered, 21.5 and 22.5 in on the blocks, 24.5 in with stacked blocks, 24.25 and 27 in with adapters, and a 12.5-inch frame width against BendPak's 11 inches. The differences are under an inch, but they matter if your truck sits low at the lift points. Measure your own clearance rather than trusting either column to the quarter inch.

Ground clearance cuts both ways. QuickJack's measuring worksheet asks for at least 4 inches of clearance at the lift points for the earlier 7000TLX; compare your own clearance at the lift points with the 3.5 to 3.75 inch lowered height plus the block you plan to use.

Buyer Checkpoint Fit score

Fit 92/100 for a home-garage owner or small shop that services full-size pickups, vans and long-wheelbase SUVs up to 8,000 lb with lift points 43–66 inches apart, needs about 21–27 inches of rise, and wants the floor back after the job. This score is not raised to fill a publishing slot.

Method: Buyer Checkpoint Fit score for the target buyer profile on the 30/25/20/15/10 framework (Use-case & safety / Documented capability / Integration / Ownership / Supporting evidence). It is an editorial score built from documents, not a laboratory or hands-on test. A hard stop for that profile overrides the total. Other profiles are described under “Avoid if…” without a second numeric score. See the public scoring method.

Total: 29 + 23 + 19 + 14 + 7 = 92. A vehicle over 8,000 lb, lift points outside 43–66 inches, a soft or sloped floor, or a listing showing the 6,000-lb size is a hard stop for this profile and overrides the 92.

Buying facts that change the decision

Each row pairs a sourced figure with the decision it changes.

QuickJack 8000TLX vs 8000TL, 7000TLX and 6000TLX

The short answer: the 8000TLX is the 8,000-lb lift for long vehicles. The 8000TL has the same capacity on shorter 70.75-inch frames for lift points 37 to 60 inches apart. The 7000TLX was the earlier 7,000-lb extended model with the same 43 to 66 inch spread, and the 6000TLX keeps that spread at 6,000 lb with lighter frames.

8000TLX vs 8000TL. Capacity is identical, so frame length decides. If the vehicle's approved lift points measure under 43 inches apart, the TLX frames cannot close up far enough; the TL can. If they measure over 60 inches, only the TLX reaches.

8000TLX vs 7000TLX. Both use 76-inch frames and a 43 to 66 inch spread. The 8000TLX adds 1,000 lb of rated capacity and the redesigned synchronized hydraulics BendPak describes for SKU 5175673. The 7000TLX (BendPak e-catalog SKU 5175645 for 110 V, 5175647 for 220 V) is not on QuickJack's current compare page, checked November 9, 2026, so treat any 7000TLX offer as a different, earlier model and compare its warranty and exact SKU before you save the difference.

8000TLX vs 6000TLX. Same frame length and spread; the 6000TLX frames are lighter to carry (81.5 lb against 103 lb). Choose on vehicle weight. Check the door-jamb curb weight, plus anything that stays in the bed, rather than guessing from the model name.

How to measure your truck before you order

QuickJack publishes a measuring worksheet with four numbers. Take them on the vehicle you will actually lift.

• Curb weight from the door-jamb label or owner's manual. It must stay within 8,000 lb.
• Tire spread: measure between the front and rear tire treads about 3 inches above the ground, then subtract 2 inches. The worksheet lists at least 76 inches for the 76-inch extended frames, so the frames fit between the tires.
• Lifting-point spread: inside-to-inside and outside-to-outside of the approved jacking points. Both must land within 43 to 66 inches.
• Ground clearance at the lift points. The worksheet asks for at least 4 inches on the earlier 7000TLX; the 8000TLX lowered height is 3.5 to 3.75 inches before the block.

If any one of the four fails, the lift is the wrong size for that vehicle, however good the price looks.

Portable QuickJack vs a two-post or four-post lift

The short answer: a QuickJack trades standing headroom for a floor you can still park on. About 21 to 27 inches of rise is enough for wheels, brakes, suspension and oil, but not for walking under the truck.

If you have the ceiling height and a slab that can take anchors, our two-post car lift guide covers 10 ft vs 12 ft ceilings, concrete and ALI certification. If the goal is parking one vehicle over another, our BendPak HD-9 4-post vs 2-post checklist covers that decision. Neither replaces the QuickJack for a garage that must stay clear.

Buyer Checkpoint did not confirm ALI certification for the 8000TLX. BendPak's own disclaimer says not every model is ALI certified and points buyers to the Automotive Lift Institute directory at autolift.org; check the current listing there before you rely on it.

How to confirm the live listing without trusting a dated note

Open ASIN B0F4HD1WXG and check the size selector. You want 8,000 lbs., not the 6,000-lb option on the same page, and a title that still reads 8000TLX with a 110 V power unit. If the page shows a different model or size, this checklist no longer applies.

Then confirm the current seller, delivery method and price. A November 10, 2026 recheck at delivery ZIP 10001 showed the 8,000-lb size selected, an in-stock featured offer shipped and sold by BendPak inc, and Add to Cart visible. That check is not a promise that the same seller, stock or price will be there when you buy. Adding the lift to your cart does not reserve it and does not lock a price.

QuickJack 8000TLX verdict in brief

Each line below stands on its own and names its source date. None of it comes from a hands-on test.

• The QuickJack 8000TLX is the right portable lift for long-wheelbase pickups and SUVs up to 8,000 lb, because BendPak's SKU 5175673 page (checked November 9, 2026) pairs that rating with 76-inch frames and a 43 to 66 inch lift-point spread.
• Plan the QuickJack 8000TLX around 21 inches of rise on 2-inch blocks and 26.75 inches with optional adapters and pin, the figures in BendPak's SKU 5175673 table checked November 9, 2026, not the 24.5-inch feature bullet.
• The QuickJack 8000TL is the better 8,000-lb choice when lift points are 37 to 60 inches apart, because its 70.75-inch frames cover that shorter spread (QuickJack compare table, checked November 9, 2026).
• The QuickJack 8000TLX keeps the 7000TLX's 76-inch frames and 43 to 66 inch spread while adding 1,000 lb of rated capacity, per BendPak and QuickJack documents checked November 9, 2026.
• Before buying any extended QuickJack, measure tire spread and ground clearance: QuickJack's measuring worksheet (checked November 9, 2026) lists at least 76 inches of tire spread for the 76-inch frames.
• On November 10, 2026, Amazon ASIN B0F4HD1WXG showed the 8,000-lb size selected, an 8000TLX title with a 110 V power unit, and Add to Cart visible at delivery ZIP 10001.
