Jacking pucks
Where do you place the 4 jacking pucks. Also during winter storage does anyone have an idea on how they will jack the wheels off the ground?
Thanks

Leave it on the ground for storage. Just air up the tires an extra 10 lbs. If it is sitting on bare concrete, put some kind of barrier between the tires and the concrete, like carpet, wood, plastic, tile.

I got my jacking pucks in the mail today and put them in just by laying on the ground and popping them in the holes. Very easy.

Excuse the noob question, but why do you have to do this for bare concrete? Is it because of temp changes?
