David. I use the stock front lift point to raise car via trolly jack and jack puck. And also the subframe to rest the car on via the jack stands. I just took some pics and highleted area for you to see clearer. uploadfromtaptalk1420060346417.jpguploadfromtaptalk1420060346417.jpguploadfromtaptalk1420060346417.jpg

EDIT .

Basically the last image JARBLUE posted is what I use. The blue area is where I use for the jackstand and the red circle area is what I use the trolly jack to raise vehicle.

I even use them as magnetic trays to hold nuts, bolts, etc. when working on the car. To store them, I attach them to the jack --- this made me not lose my pads as often.
Those are nice. Where did you get them? Do you have a link?

Try this.


Jack Pads - Magnetized - 6speedonline.com Forums

Working on cars have been my passion for decades. I invented/made the magnetic pads as the result of many hours working on sports cars and bikes.

They're easy to make. All you need is some hockey pucks, a radial arm saw or something to cut the slot, and some neodymium magnets off Amazon. Drill a 1/2 inch hole and use some epoxy to secure the magnets.

Sometimes it's easier to pay someone else to do it (depending on their price)

I just use the nice soft street hockey pucks. I think I posted a pick here or elsewhere.

How about the one you used on top of your jack stands?
Where you got them?

I have some covers like that for my jack stands. I picked them up at Harbor Freight a week or two after I bought jack stands from the same. Dirt cheap

The ones on top of jack stands where bought from harbor freight. I don't really rate it too well as the edges of the jack stand broke through the rubber.

Stupid tapa talk. ...

They are sold separately. I still use an old rag in between that and the car body.

Same here. I didn't even know about them until I saw them on sale in a email I received a few days after purchasing the jack stands.

FWIW, I have several sets of jack stands, and the covers only fit the Pittsburgh brand ones I bought from HF.
