Don't forget to remove your hockey puck when you are finished with them. Mine had been in since spring. I just forgot that I had not removed it. At first I thought I had ran over something on the road, Seen nothing in the rear view mirror. After thinking about it I figured I must of forgot to remove a puck. No visible damage but their could have been. So beware

Good tip, but mine are designed to stay installed on the car.

Good reminder.
I had frame rail savers on my 98 and 02 but when I purchased my 99 it did not have them. I used a jacking puck on it and then proceeded to forget I used it. Lucky for me it was still there when I finally did remember it. I could see how one could take out a rear tire and that could be bad, very bad.
