Lift Pads....
I was doing the research in the forum for the lift pads.
Ecklers wants about $65 bucks
The BWM pads are about $35
I made them myself out of 4 hockey pucs and 4 eye hooks.
$ 9.99 at Sports Authorithy for a dozen pucks
$2.25 at Home Depot for 4 eye hoocks
Saving the $$$ and doing it myself................PRICELESS !!!!!

Good deal making your own pucks. Can't beat the price.

Hmmm.... a screw jack that came with the 80's style F-bodies works well without the pads... and they can be easily found at the junk yard. Only problem is you have to use armstrong power to get them raised or the air-impact wrench.
