Best jacking pucks?
#21
I have similar BMW style pucks that I bought first in 2006 for my 99 and swapped them over to my 03 a year ago. My set was less than $60 but that was off eBay in 06. These four pucks have remained on my two C5s for 12 years and many thousands of miles. I use them all the time and like that they are always there. They are light and all but invisible on the car

Not sure where I picked up mine , but they are rubber and they work great. Not sure that Aluminum would grip to lift arms or jack as well.

I ended up buying 4 hockey pucks locally, a few years ago I went looking for hockey pucks and couldn't find them at any sporting goods stores.
A few days ago, googled where to buy hockey pucks near me, found a store that is in a building where there are 2 big ice rinks, the black ones were 1.50 each, bought 4.
To jack the car up for a oil change, going to put rhino ramps under front wheels, do I need to drill and add the hardware, or is it safe to jack with the pucks only?
I never plan on leaving them in the framewell.
Or does the eyebolt part help keep it from moving?

eyebolt keeps it centered but its not much for metal strength so make sure you are straight on with jack and it can roll freely as the car is lifted

Got the jacking pucks made, tried to change oil and jack up one side.
Oops, my floor jack is too tall to go under fiberglass, have to buy a new low profile one.
3.5 minimum lift should be ok?
