ZL1addons and Reverse Logic both make a good lifting puck. I use the ZL1 pucks on my Dodges. If you really want a nice puck, check out the machined ones made by Katech. They make a regular one and a higher 2" version for Z06 and Grand Sports to clear the side skirts. A bit pricey but well worth it IMHO.
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean. There are pictures within the link I attached; one of which is a side view of the bottom with the pucks attached. They are not obtrusive with the side skirts and do not hang down very far. They work for me.
What I meant is do they have enough height so that when using the pucks the jack clears the Stage 2 or Stage 3 GM side skirts on the Grand Sport/Z06/ZR1.
Many of the leave in jacking pucks aren't thick enough to work on a C7 with side skirts when using a garage hydraulic jack.
I would not buy anything plastic that has to support the weight of the car. Eventually they will fail... Our club actually had a local machine shop make up some from aluminum and stainless steel...
For those that don't have access to a machine shop and want metal, KaTech has 2 1/2 inch diameter aluminum jack pads. They come in 1 and 2 inch height. I have both. However unlike the Reverse Logic pads they cannot be bolted in temporally to be assured they will be used by a dealer or tire shop.
KaTech has both 1 and 2 inch high aluminum jack pads for sale.

I saw that, but your post was after I asked about the other leave in pucks from West Coast Corvettes. Based on pics, I don't think any leave in pucks will clear the side skirts. Thanks!
If you want a quality set with a major added advantage (explained below) Reverse Logic has 2 1/2 inch diameter pads GM says should be the max diameter used (I know hickey pucks can work if you push the eye bolt away from the rocker panel!)
Reverse Logic is a Forum vendor. Can be used bolted in or just installed if you are doing the work. Since a Z06 has side skirts may need the 1 inch high pads vs snap in. https://www.reverselogic.us/corvette_jack_pad.html $65/4 free shipping
Some rocker panels are close to the tie-down slots that others. Hence 2 1/2 max recommendation form GM
ADVANTAGE OF REVERSE LOGIC
If going to a dealer with my C6 I always put my jack pads in a clear plastic bag on the passenger seat and would tell the Service Writer to be sure the tech used them on their 14 center post lifts. But would they?
When I got my 2014 C7 GM sent a notice to have the dif fluid level checked. I said my usual with my aluminum pads on the passenger seat. The Service Writer (who I knew from my C6) said: "Don't worry, I will insist they use our alignment rack (they only have 1) as we just cracked a Vette rocker panel and are having to have it repaired!"
With the Reverse Logic pads you can take them apart with the supplied Allen wrench, then remove the white section and bolt them temporally in the Vette. Drive to the dealer than you are sure they are used! They should be removed after the work is done as the stick down and could hit a speed bump etc.
I keep them in my rear compartment in case of a flat etc. I use them like normal jack pads, insert and then remove when finished jacking!
I bought a set of these largely due to this post. Thanks for the great rundown of the reverse logic pads. I have mine and now keep them in the rear storage too.
