For those not inclined to make their own Delrin jacking puck, Reverse Logic offers a commercially available Delrin puck for as low as $13.50 each (in sets of four). The Reverse Logic puck can be secured in place for the duration of a maintenance session since it has a T-Nut with built in stops. The stops limit the rotation of the T-Nut to 90 degrees. With the Nylon spacer removed, the puck can be tightened up against the bottom of the chassis.

.... "New" method w/galvanized steel + Delrin:-
Using jacking puck of your choice (mine is home made delrin - to eliminate damaging paint) from behind either front side, the whole side will go up at high enough to put these on, depending on work to be done:
A. Under tire patch - All work other than suspension:

As long as you are happy, thats what counts.
Like I said, whatever turn you on.

I don't mind to speak well of a vendor/manufacturer - especially when credit is due.
Right on.

Picked up four of Reverse Logic Lifting Pucks. Very well made.
Ready to lift and have re-read the threads here. Is there ANY way to safely jack from the sides and then place jack stands at the 4 support points??
If you read post #5 carefully, he is not "supporting" at the mid point, only jacking and then supporting at the support points. Agree completely on jacking from the front and rear cross-members, but what if space constraints prohibit this. Still wondering if low profile jack wouldn't lift from the sides allowing jack stands to be placed beneath.
