Best jacking puck
Which are the best pucks? Composite ones from WildVettes with the eyebolt that you remove when not using or the permanently mounted aluminum ones with the half round top that fit in the frame slots?

The best ones for me are the leftover aluminum ones from my '09 Z06. They fit perfectly, and were essentially free. They are also taller so give more leeway in regards to the rocker panels.
I keep them in the rear cubby so they are always available.

Here is why. They are 2 1/2 inch diameter that clear all rocker panels and what GM recommends. They can be bolted on temporarily when going for service. With my aluminum pucks I put them on the passenger seat in a clear plastic bag, tell the service scheduler to be sure the mechanic uses them and HOPE he does!
Mechanics are often on incentive and don't take the time to use them. With the Reverse Logic pucks no need to caution, would install them first.
When doing my own work would use them like I do the aluminum ones I have and just insert and remove when finished. Will get them for my planned GS and sell mine with my 2014.

I did the ZL1 Addons jack pads... the GM service tech raved about how great it was to have those on there. Made lining up their swing arms easy and they only had to put on one set of plastic pucks instead of the usual two.
I would prefer if they were a bit higher to remove the need for ANY plastic pucks, but at least I know they won't be scraping anything on the road.
