I went to Harbor Freight and got their low profile racing jack made by Pittsburgh and 4 jack stand rubber pads to grip the ZL1 Addons jack pads. I would recommend the rubber pads to anyone using this ZL1 Addons product.

I was anxious about lifting this car for the first time but the 6 jack pads is my #1 method now. The chassis of my 1le is so stiff I actually lifted both the front and back of the car at the floor jack point at the same time. Didn't have to touch the mount point near the rear diff.
Smart idea. The mag puck smashes up the pinch weld a little.
And I agree. I was so scared about jacking the car up but after installing the addons and using the mag puck. It takes like 3 minutes to get the car up on all four stands. Feels very safe. So easy.
