Ever forget to remove the pucks after jacking/lifitng? I have a couple of times but always caught it before driving. I figured out a reminder.

Look just behind the front, and in front of the rear wheels on the side frame rail and you will see a hole the eye fits into. These are the jacking points.

I bought these from the Big Auction site for $30 plus shipping. They snap in place and I just leave them there. They are great.
