Default lifting puck question

I'm sorry if this was already talked about but l have seen pictures where some are double stacked. l will be making mine this week but l'm not sure if l should single or double puck and what would be the advantage? Thank you.

IMO it all comes down to how low your car is? Has it been lowered from stock ride height? This and your jack height well determine how much of a headache it will be based on the allowable space to work with.

A single puck is enough to do the job.

I suspect double pucks are for people needing to clear skirts, and it won't be for leave-ons.

That's a good point. I just ordered side skirts. I guess we'll see if I need new pucks.
