Yeah, but maybe a bit risky given the way the QJ drops and raises the car relies a good deal on the tires being able to roll a bit to relieve bind which would otherwise apply a shear between the floor, QJ and jacking points. With such heavy cars and low profile tires that don’t have a ton of flex available in their sidewalls, this probably is a greater force than the QJ geometry was designed around.

Maybe he’s done many a lift successfully, but I wouldn’t recommend it or do it myself.
Fun fact, Actually found a video from QJ on doing this. Apparently it is allowed. But they caution to pay attention to the cars weight distribution. Good to know at least.

Got my 6000 in last week and have a pin hole in one of the welds that's leaking air. Still waiting to hear back from Bendpak about it.
