Thanks Berk4422 !
Where did you get your Crossbeam Adapter for your jack. It looks like the perfect length. I looked at the ones at Harbor Freight today and they seem way too long at 28" to 37". Their's also have a threaded stud that screws into their floor jacks. My 3-ton floor jack is set up for a 30mm stud.
Thanks!

Still looking for a Cross Beam adapter for my floor jack. I pick up my new toy today 
and will certainly want to jack it up this weekend to check brakes, detail rims, etc.
My current 3-ton jack lift pad has a 30mm stud that fits in the lift beam of the jack. Any ideas???

Thanks! I checked out the Harbor Freight Cross Beam and saw that it was not only too long but it attached to the jack arm with a fairly short bolt instead of a shaft like many jack lifting pads use. I'm assuming that you both have the Pittsburgh floor jack that uses that type of attachment?

How did you guys attach the lifting pads to your cut-down beam? The one at my Harbor Freight had threaded inserts welded into the movable arms. Also, were you able to find a length that works for the front and rear jacking points ?
Thanks again

Did my brakes -- calipers, lines, pads -- this winter and jacked it up as you describe -- front and back.
However, I needed the pucks to place the jackstands. I guess I could have used the jackstands on the cross members, but that is where I was jacking from, so that's a problem. Plus, I wanted the stands out wider for stability.
You can certainly do one wheel at a time, but much easier if all four are up, especially if you need to bleed the system. JMHO
