Default recomendations on jack lifting pucks
I am looking buy jack lifting pucks. Mid America Motorworks offers either the polypropylene permanate type or the removable aluminum pads. C A offers removable urethane/metal pads. Which is the best choice?
Thanks,

I bought some steel ones that fit the jack hole and the frame hole for 10 or 12 bucks each on a well known auction site. And from the same seller I got a performance hood seal that failed to perform last week when the tape unstuck. It was also 10 or 12 bucks, which is why I can't remember what I paid for what. Huh?

Our local GM Dealership also uses hockey pucks on their jacks - works perfect. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding them in Wisconsin - Arizona might be tough though.

Same here... although I'm pretty sure I will have to remove them when I install my A&A frame rail protectors.

Same here...they work great and you don't have to worry about having them in just in case you get in a situation where you have to jack her up.

The BMW pucks are the way to go. $6.95 each, just snap them in and they work great.
