That's their "Universal" model, right? Do the bottoms of the pads come out lower than the bodywork for sure? Or can you snap a pic of one installed, from the side, showing the clearance? These look like they would be awesome for use with my low-rise lift BTW, I found them on Amazon, too: ZL1 Addons 2640 Pinch Weld Universal Magnetic Jack Pads - Set of 4 : Amazon.com : Automotive

It is the universal. I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon but ordered this from ZL1ADDONS. The owner shipped the universal to me to try. He said, if I liked it, to pay through paypal. If not, just send it back. Excellent customer service.

It is metal to metal but hasn't even blemished the paint.

I'm sure a thin coat of Teflon sprayed on the adapter wouldn't hurt.

Those rail adapters are nice! But...they're $64!

For as rarely as I jack my vehicle, a hockey puck is $1.50 and the magnets were $2.25 each.
