ZL1 Addons?

I recently received my Jack Pad from ZL1 Addons.
Packaged nicely, cool box.
Here is my issue.

On their website they do not list the dimensions for the puck or the pad.
The descriptions states 2".

Nothing at all is 2"


""Camaro 16'-18' Jack Pad
  • Regular price $56.99
This is our 2 inch premium jack pads with the mag pucks. They fit the 6th gen Camaro and 16/17 Cadillac, plus many other cars.
Note: Mag puck not needed with convertible !!!! """



The puck is 3 3/8"
The pad is is 3"
The contact point to the pinch weld with the pad is 1 3/4"


My low profile floor jack has a 3" saddle with the fit inside the saddle at 2 3/4". -- """""Would you not think their description of a 2" jack pad would not work? """""
I don't think it would be safe. Safe to set the puck on the four little protruding nipples as shown in the photo.
Even without the puck, the aluminum pad doesn't fit between the nipples.



I e-mailed them. They gave no excuse... Send it back for a refund!
How about ZL1 phone UPS for a pick up?
Why should I have to drive to UPS, the post office, be on the hook for $15.00 to send this back to you?
This is my rant,,,
ZL1 needs to describe their products better.

looks like you would need a wider cup i got a low profile one from harbor freight and also got the magnetic frame rail attachment which really helps also btw

I looked up the manufacturer using the info on the jack.
No dice... Phone Number doesn't work.

It looks like Wall-mart sells this brand of jack now. ((NICE))



Several years ago this was the greatest and the best jack to get on the Corvette Forum for your C6.
Ecklers corvette access and one or two others carried it.
