I’m getting ready to rebuild the suspension on my car so I need it completely off the ground. Jack stands are my only option so I looked around for options. Here is what I came up with. The Harbor Freight aluminum stands. They are sold under different names on the internet but seem to be all the same. They have a mostly flat top which we need to mate with the jacking points.
I found the idea of using hockey pucks as cushions on the internet. I ordered some inexpensive hockey pucks and tried them out. They worked well but the ridges on the top of the stands caused them to deform some. The hockey pucks are hard enough to machine so I set them up on the mill and machined grooves into them to accept the ridges on the stands. Now they work great. As a bonus the pucks fit perfectly between the 3 bolts under the motor mounts
