Save a bunch of $ and build them your self. Go to the local sports store and purchase 2 hockey pucks ( yes - hockey pucks ). Next go to Lowes or Home Depot and purchase 2 - 1/4" eye bolts. Drill a 1/4" hole in the center of the puck all the way through and then drill a 1/2" hole on one side till it is deep enough for the nut to sit in and not protrude. Push the eye bolt in - you want a tight fit, put on nut and hammer it into the puck. Take hacksaw cut excess bolt off. Jacking pucks for less than $5.00 and an hour of your time !!!!!! Mine work great.

This is why I bought solid aluminum from a reputable company.

I did the hockey pucks, you don't even need the bolts just put the puck on the jack cradle and jack in proper spot
Total cost about $4.00.
