I'm not sure I would be using a Quickjack on a CCLB 6.7L. There was a forum member that posted pictures of his truck on his personal lift and it looked really sketchy. Lots of members posted that it looked downright dangerous. The length of the truck could cause balance problems on a lift like the Quickjack. I like to have my jack stands as far forward and backward on the vehicle as possible for stability.
I figured so. It’s rated for 7,000 pounds so I think it has the muscle for it, but really concerned about balance with such a large vehicle.
I'm pretty sure that my curb weight exceeds 7K. 11,500 lbs GVWR with a cargo capacity of ~3200 lbs yields 8,300 lbs. Even an F-250 6.7L is over the limit of that jack.

I need to look at the specs. I have the 7000TLX but I think the curb weight for a 7.3L gas Super Duty might exceed the rating of the QuickJack by a bit.
I think the diesel would greatly exceed the rating for the 7000TLX.
I've been using this type, I realize it doesn't lift all four wheels at once, but for home repair/maintenance it is fantastic. If i place it under the rear pumpkin, it will lift both wheels off the ground in under five seconds, its not a race...but no more pumping the floor jack handle. Raise all for wheels, place jack stands, rotate tires, half hour. I really like it.
I wouldn't recommend it. I have some & use them for other cars & small suvs but the closeness of the frame rails and length of truck could be a real problem.
For a car, they are awesome!
I can see where these would be nice for a front wheel drive car, since there’s not much but clear floor between the wheels, but for a truck with transmission, transfer case, drive line, etc?
Apparently they’re used for trucks too, but I know I wouldn’t be crawling in between the ramps to work on anything between the front / rear wheels.
My CCSB 4x4 7.3 XLT weighs 6,640 per the local CAT scales. The same weight was also listed on the rail car tracking info. Not all Super Duty’s weigh 8,000+
Personally, I’d put that money toward a “real” 2 or 4 post if there’s available space for one (the path I took). If not, I guess I’d keep on trucking with a floor jack (or maybe that nifty looking airbag jack linked previously) and jack stands.
NO!! It might actually lift it, but if you lean on the truck or do something to twist it, the jacks can collapse. I have a pair of 7K and lifting an F-150 is the limit these can do, I tried lifting a 12 F-350, but it barely got it off the suspension before it started to struggle.

When you say struggle, was the Quickjack close to reaching its maximum height?
Truck sat like this for 24 hours while i got the tires swapped on the rims. i used jack stands also to make sure nothing went south, I have the extended length version QJ though so the truck balance was pretty good and It actually had no issue lifting a 6.7 diesel CC surprisingly. I had the QJ out since i had just finished using it on something else so it was convenient to use that time. Last time i swapped wheels i just used a regular floor jack since QJ was all put away in the corner and all the hoses were disconnected. While its technically over the "limit" it did work fine, all of these things have safety factors built into the specs but i wouldn't recommend going over the limit. My trucks ship weight was 7300lb so i didn't really go much over.

I would imagine a gas Super Duty would be significantly lighter than a diesel.
I used them to raise my 28' travel trailer, but it weighed less than 7000 pounds. The 2012 I had weighed 7900 and change when new, but with stuff in the cab and a backflip, it weighed quite a bit more. no way would I subject the QJ to that much weight, even to just lift it to put on jacks. Any uneveness under the QJ could cause it to twist while going up and damage it, which can either cause it to get jammed, or collapse. IOW I wouldn't risk it.
Would be nice if they handled 10K since the F-450 weighs nearly that off the assembly line.
