Jacking Pucks...
National Tire and Battery won't lift my car.....turned me down flat.....so I think there must be something good about these things. The cheap hockey pucks sound like a reasonable alternative.

I bought the square permanent hard plastic jacking pucks from Eckler’s. They’re the ones that you snap in and leave on the vehicle. I had to remove them when I had Andy at A&A install a set of his rocker rail savers. I couldn’t use both, as the rocker rail savers cover about half of the jacking puck hole in the frame.

Got mine from West Coast Corvettes.

Check these out. So pretty you can use them as paper weights... (they make them for C5s also).

If you have no rocker rail protectors you can get the new ones they have at Ecklers. They insert right in the lifting point and twist right in and stay there, like the BMW's. Plus they are not thick like some of the others you buy (or home make) so you can get the jack underneath them. I thought about getting them but I have rocker rail protectors and they obstruct their installation. Besides, the rails eliminate the problem anyway.

Same here - got my rails from 21CMC when I did the TT. Rails makes thing real easy.
