If you are going to be lifting your Z with a normal garage jack this is going to happen. Hell it happens with the supplied scissor jack.

Get over it.

Get a grooved low profile jack and some stands - you will not need much else - listen to the shack man :p

Where can I get one? I've looked through autoparts stores whenever I'm in there and all I see are jacks with the flat, round pad.

Here's one source: Jack Pads

Do a Google search on "Jack Pads" and you'll find a ton more..
