Slip how? With the weight of the car? I just bought the Elite Engineering ones and used them twice already and they are awesome, especially for the price. I may buy another set to use for paperweight cause they look so good!

A better way to go is to get a rubber pad insert for your jack. About $10 at Harbor Freight. You might need to jack something else that needs cushioning occasionally and it will come in handy.

What type of jack are you using? I just purchased the same pads from Elite Engineering ($39 for a set of 4) and haven't received them yet. How much clearance do you have from the ground with these pads installed? I have a Craftsman professional jack 3.5ton with the large (4" I think) dish on the lift arm and would like to know if that'll work or whether I need to buy a special jack. I know my car is 5" off the ground.
Thanks for your help!

I imagine if you off-center the end of the lifting arm on the puck enough, it could slip. But like most, I double check this operation a few times before I lift.
