I'm looking for some rubber pads that can go on my floor jack lift pad. They are round and have slots in them to straddle the pinch weld while jacking. I cut some dadoes into some 2x6 blocks, and they work,
but the blocks split.

Plenty of examples on the internet. What do you guys use?

Thanks

Why not get some rubber stall mat, cut and glue as needed to your preferred shape? The mat comes in many different thickness

Cut the sidewall out of an old tire.

Went to Home Depot/Lowes and got something similar. They have rubber matting that I used and put on the pad surface and worked for my use and was around $8 for the padding

These are what I was looking for and bought this morning. You can see in the pictures why I was asking about a pad that would go over the pinch weld. But thanks for the suggestions.

Slotted floor jack pads

Why are lifting the car there? It is the worst place to lift a car. It is not a ridged nascar chassis.

Because on a new Challenger there is no way to get a jack under anything else.

I use ramps for an oil change, but when I need to pull a tire the jack point on the rocker is the only way

iagree I agree, my wifes VW is the same way. BTW, I have the poly slotted pads and they are durable. I`m not so sure how durable the rubber pads are.

That's where you are supposed to lift some cars. Some have a notch in the pinch weld where the jack goes.

Oh OK I thought we were working on a old car.

Yup I had to run our 300 on at least a 2x6 under one tire to get a floor jack under the front. Have never owned or worked on new challenger.

I just saw an article on building these using left over pieces of composite decking..

For half A$$ rigging, they didnt look to bad..

Good material to use and you can make em with your saw...
