Default Recommendations?... Jacking pads / jack pad

Any recommendations on what jack pads work best?

if your low profile jack has padding on it that is adequate...however, a jacking pad that locks into the jacking point adds additional security...

sorry they are out of stock but there are many others on the market and you get the idea....btw...when you are done...don't forget to take the pad out....don't ask me how I know...

A very low profile jack is key and then some some soft material between wood disk or jacking pad.


I have used hockey pucks wutg no problem but I did see a puck explode under pressure of car weight at a repair shop.

LOL, where were you with that advice earlier this summer "damn, what's that clanking sound coming from the right front,.... hmmm, seems to be gone now" - I'm now a hockey puck convert.
