Default Jackpoint jackstands

These are very stable but very pricey. I could have bought only 2 and some good flat top stands to do pretty much the same job. I have to drive the fronts on a riser, jack on the rear jacking point to slide stands under both points on that side. Then do the other side from the rear point as well. Only have to use the jack twice to get the car up. I have read about the quick jacks spraying atf everywhere and did not want to risk it with my fine luck.

Thanks for the info... I am considering getting them. They appear super strong and stable, plus due to how they align they seem fool proof. My worry was the Jackpoint pads or plates would occupy the current gap between my car's leave in pucks and my floor jack. That small gap is what allows me to lift my C7 without ramps.

It looks like you are using the taller Reverse Logic pucks but I've got the shorter Z1L add-on (leave in) pucks so maybe I would be OK? Any thoughts?

Is the height enough for an oil change? Looks fine for brake work.

I’m a big Jackpoint Jackstands fan. It’s so easy (and safe) to jack up the car and completely safe to be under the car without risk of the car dropping on you Or falling off the jackstands. IMO they’re worth every penny.

Yes, more than high enough to change the oil.
