Thanks.

Cheap: slotted hockey puck $10/2pk Amazon.

Not so cheap temporary/magnet: ZL1 Addons

Not so cheap semi-permanent: ZL1 Lift points (I use these)

Get the permanently mounted ones so they're always there in case you're on the road and it needs to be lifted. Buy two sets of these and sell the other two to another member, the car has six lift points. https://www.amazon.com/Dewhel-Billet...xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Here's a cheaper version on the ZL1 add-on lift points.

Agreed.

I only have a set of four from ZL1 Addons, is anybody interest in selling me two lift points? Preferably red.

these are what you want. I have them on my car and have used them for a couple years without issues. The ZL1 addons ones work too but they're more expensive and basically the same thing.

do NOT buy anything that doesn't bolt on to the pinch welds. Those can be unstable and can lead to damage to your pinch welds and/or rocker panels. NO pucks, NO magnets.

Are 6 pads really necessary or are folks using 4?

I have a set of the Dewhel pads in red I got for my ZL1-before I checked if it already had the pads... It did, so if you want these you may have have them.

Necessary enough that I'm looking for two more. I really hate using the magnet/puck to jack up the car. It feels dangerous and unstable.

Dumb question:


I saw the amazon link, but other than the use of the plural "pads", actual number appears nowhere. Is it a set of 4 for $58.99?
