The hooks on the free ends of the straps hooked into holes in the flatbed, but they looked way too big to fit the holes the pucks go into.

They have little attachments that go into the hole and turn 90 degrees and are then secure. Then the chain or strap goes onto that. Some operators prefer that, it keeps the body from bouncing. Some do the tire thing. I wouldn't know enough to know if there is really a right or wrong.

Don't worry (too much) about speed bumps rubbing, don't worry about pucks. Just drive the car.

Pucks? Who needs Pucks?
As I do 99% of my own work, I got one of these from Harbor Freight Tools.
Works Wonders.
I use a mini-jack to start under the left side of the frame to gain clearance for this under the sub-frame.
The rubber pads catch it exactly right, and the car goes straight up.

That's a nice accessory. I use a 2x6, about 2 feet long. I can then put jack stands under both ends and pull jack out giving me room to work.

I don't do my own work so I'm reliant on others to jack my car. Just glad I got something to protect my rockers.
I don't mind the removeable pucks. Putting them in gives me a chance to talk to the grease monkey about proper jacking technique while doing it
Art that's a beautful setup you got there.
First pic is for Laughs..I needed to shoot a pic under there.
The second shot is the lift that did the dirty deed..

I'll find out tonight, Lee is fabricating a small power steering line for me. It's going back on the rack w/pucks this time. I'll have a chance to talk to him anyway. I think probably the crunch was just a simple error on his part,my car had been on his rack before no pucks and no problem.

If you want to keep using jacking pucks but want to protect the frame, there is also this model:
