Which are the best jack pads to order? I see several on Amazon, they all look about the same. Is anyone better than the rest?

Best Jack pads ?

I struggled with the same, then decided I wanted aluminum ones, not cheap injection molded plastic. While I'm sure all will "do the job," having a nice machined puck in the truck has aesthetic value!

These look really cool - Conversation piece(s)!
I ordered a single one from Amazon (for at home work), forgetting that I might need a set for tire shops when traveling, so the Amazon one will stay in the garage, and this USA Made set in the truck! Note, there is a $5 off coupon, so $34.99 OTD.

I got the same set from eBay. Great seller with quick shipping...I wanted a low profile jack adapter.

Mine said it will arrive a week from next Monday. Is that about how long it too for you to receive yours (9 days +/-)? Not that I expect to need them in the next nine days, but I do look forward to seeing the USA made quality and sheen!

Purchased on June 20th and received them on June 24th via USPS. Is the 9 days an eBay estimate or from the actual Tracking Number ?

Good point - eBay estimate is what I reported earlier. Do you recall where they are shipping from? I see you're in CA, and I'm in WA, so delivery should be similar - if in stock. Did you get the full or low profile pads?

Thanks, good to know! Did you like the quality of what you received? I would assume so, given your endorsement. If as good as the picture, quality and finish wise, I will be ecstatic!

I did like the quality. The aluminum was finished nicely, feel solid and they stayed in the jack point holes without falling out. I think you'll be happy.

They are smaller in diameter than a standard hockey puck though..(2" for the jack pad adaptor vs 3" for the hockey puck).

Thanks for the review and information. Now, I just have to find a reasonably priced, and not fugly, set of mud flaps....

But the hockey puck lacks those rock hard centering “nipples”... if you get a dolt at the tire shop, they could cause more damage with a misaligned puck than nothing at all. Of course, no problem with the puck for those DIYers.
“Rock hard” “nipples”.... did you really have to go there?!
Lol.
I actually was looking for rubber/plastic ones thinking they might be more forgiving on the underside of the car... but if people have been giving good recommendations of these I might get these guys instead!

Keep in mind these have a nylon-like ring that slips over the nipple to protect from metal to metal contact.

They shipped from Auburn Hills, MI 48326. Accepted at Auburn Hills, MI on the 6/21 and delivered on 6/24 by USPS in Sacramento, CA.
I did get the low profile ones, which are about 0.4" thinner than their standard version (a little thicker than a hockey puck). Thickness of the low profile adaptor is about 3/4" (thickness includes the silicone o-ring) and a standard hockey puck is about 1" I think.
