quickjack and GTR lifting

I have a quickjack 5000 and I bought the 6' extension kit to lift the GTR. I am wondering what do people use as the rubber jack point. The rubber blocks that came with quickjack are too tall to be used with the extension as there is very little clearance.

Serious, I always have a bag of hockey pucks around for jack/lifting situations as needed.

Yup...such a simple solution.

Do you put two pucks per corner?

You don't want to stack them. Shouldn't need to anyway... Because you have to use the extension, the only thing you can do is pull the car up on ramps or boards to get the extra clearance needed. We have the Quickjacks 7000 and have lifted the car multiple times using this technique.

These are also an option:

A single lift puck that I have is not tall enough to clear the frame of the quickjack extension.

If you pull it up on the ramps, the thicker pads will work just fine. Sorry, I feel like I've taken you down a windy path here as I missed the extension part. These are an example of what we use.

Hope this Helps.

The low profile service ramps were a pain to use, and the car flung the rear pads backwards when I was trying to drive up on to them. I ended up using a table saw to just trim the rubber blocks that come with quickjack. Make sure to use a respirator as cutting the rubber blocks with the table saw makes a lot of toxic smoke.

FYI. These are not the jack points for GTs (C190)
