Floor jack pads

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

Lookin' at these I guess. Need the slit in them to clear the pinch weld.

Jack pads

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.

napa sells them.will post part # later. ronnie

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

I like them because there rubber

No slip

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

Sorry, shouda told you to page down the page on the Amazon URL for the slotted version

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

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.

Thanks for posting. I am going to give that a try.

Hockey puck...

Went to the shop where my car is at and there sits one hockey puck under the floor jack...lol. Can't remember how long its been there but long enuf that I totally forgot about

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...

I saw that too. It was in Rock Auto's latest news letter on line.

The ones that I got won't work. The slot that's in them is not deep enough and the pad will still squish the pinch weld when you try to jack the car. I'm only out $7 shipped. It looks like most of the other ones for sale are similar.

Can you post the link using the composite decking? I'm not finding much doing a Google search.

Maybe I'll try a hockey puck.

years ago, i made some pinch weld pads for a floor jack from "unistrut" material. that's the stuff that comes in 8foot [and longer] lengths that have a bunch of slots in it. it is about 1 1/2" square channel, made from .100 or so thick material with rolled edges at the channel opening. i cut these in 8" [or so] lengths, and welded a plug that fit my floor jack in the middle of the piece opposite the channel opening. no padding on the top side, but these things worked surprisingly well on solid rockers, and the pinch weld lip had lots of clearance. don't know if i have pics of these or not. i'll have to check.

Not sure what you mean by "composite".
If it's the stuff made out of recycled milk bottles,
I used to run the extrusion machine that makes it.
I wouldn't trust it not to crumble or collapse under the weight.
If there is another materiel I don't think I've seen it...

The "FAKE" wood for decks..

That's what I used to manufacture.
It's made from recycled milk bottles.
I doubt it's stable enough to hold up under that weight repeatedly.

When used to build decks or picnic tables, it needs a lot of supporting structure. The wood joist at 16" on center will hold up a 2X6 board for a long time. When made into benches and pic nic tables it needs a metal sub-frame. Even then it can start to sag. Especially if left in the sun.
