Using Jack Stand...where to contact point?

I have been looking for something like this so the pinch weld fits in between the adapter so its lifted correctly. But is there one that does not have that stud sticking out so it goes into your jack and is flat to fit any jack?

If you have a floor jack the bowl it came with should lift right out and the adapter fits right in.

Hey thanks for taking the time to give feedback and post some pics. The jack I have does not have that option. It’s a Torin aluminum racing jack. The so called bowl itself does not just come out. From the looks of it the bowl itself is secured in by a stud that is pressed in. The jack looks like so.

Great sticky, so just to confirm if I may. I can purchase a hocky puck and cut a slit in the middle, place this on the side front jack point raise car slightly then use another jack to raise the front via the cross member?

I bought 4 hockey pucks (this is Minnesota - they even sell hockey pucks in the grocery store). I cut a slot in them slightly off center using a radial arm saw deep enough so that it slips over the notched flange but bottoms out on the rail. I bought four neodymium magnets off Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) drilled four 1/2 inch holes, and glued them in there so that the pucks would stay put. Works great for me (got the magnet idea from this site somewhere). I did this not only so that I could jack it at home, but so that the thing would go on a typical 4-point lift without damage.
