I'd add the mag puck as the jack you selected is not completely flat.

Are you guys leaving the magnetic pads on the car at all times?

It would appear I've only ordered quantity ONE for $40? Is that a solo or did I order a set?

you ordered one..the mag pad. and you probably should've added the mag puck.

That magnetic one does NOT stay on the car. The lift pads (4 in a kit) are the ones that stay on the car. There's a link in my previous post.

The mag pad is a single. The lift pads come in a set of 4

Lifting the front, I haven't exactly figured that out yet. Would be super easy if they're was a front jacking position in the center but I don't trust any of the aluminum there. For the time being I just use the jack on one of the front jack pads and put a jack on the pinch weld and do work on one wheel at a time.

there is a center jack point on the front of the car, look right in the center it's there. You do need a low profile jack to get to it. I like my ZL1 add ons so I don't have to worry about anyone else lifting the car either.

I use this one all the time. I've even forgotten and left it attached during an entire track session and it never came off.

This one lifts both front and rear tire at the same time. Then just move it to the other side. Nice low profile jack from Harbor Freight as mentioned and you're good to go. I'm sure they will get the pucks back in stock and you can order that separately.

I also have a set of the ones that stay on the car but never installed them. Mainly wanted those for incase a shop was jacking my car they would see the red jack points.

I've got two of these:

Work just fine with two jacks.

For the lift pads suggested! This review says it didn't fit his 2020???

3.0 out of 5 stars Well made product just didn't quite fit my 2020 Camaro

They are a well made, solid product. Unfortunately the slotted part that goes over the pinch weld was not quite deep enough. I was able to return them with no problem though. I'm hoping they will make them to fit my 2020 Camaro.

regarding the magnetic jack pad....i had to mount mine to a piece of wood so the jack would clear my side skirts. look at this and you'll see what i mean:
https://zl1addons.com/collections/ja...-3-jack-magpad

So do i need both the lift pads (that don't appear to fit a 2020 ?) and the magnetic jack pad?

ste1n · 04-26-2021, 05:50 AM

Does anybody uses suspension parts for jack stands? I have installed lift pads on all 4 corners but still have no idea where to place jack stands.

DorsoDuroJohn · 04-26-2021, 08:07 AM

Jaxcam02's video on page one shows that.

Why would you need two

One in the center lifts both front and back.

m6-lt1 · 04-26-2021, 10:27 AM

Does anyone know what size magnetic pad is needed in regards to the width of the opening? The zl1 add ons is sold out so I need on from amazon. I know I need the 3 inch length one but what about the width of the opening? There are two options. .39 and .55 inch.

DorsoDuroJohn · 04-26-2021, 07:00 PM

It's the most confusing topic of all time

At this point I have new wheels and tires coming, and only the low profile jack ordered. I'm so confused on what I need. Why would ya need the magnetic anything if jacking up the front and rear on flat cross members?

I get the lift pads for the sides now, I understand that part.
