I have the homemade pucks - just plain hockey practice pucks with 59 cent eye bolts through them. I usually am jacking mine from the sides when changing pads and rotors for track days. The 3 ton will lift one side easily from the center support. The aluminum will from the side center, but with a little more effort. Neither is really low enough to lift from the front. HTH.

I usually use the huge one, when I have to jack up the whole rear end at the pumpkin or the whole front at the cross member, I use the big one, goes very high,
and I can put the whole car on 4 ramps quick

also the large one can easily move my vette or jeep around the garage like a dolly,
the small one has no ***** for that
Is this the big one you were talking about (coupon below)?
