I jacked up the front the other day to change CV boots, so I took some pics of the adapters I made that I referred to two posts up.

These are custom fit to match with my floor jack (originally made with my previous jack, updated slightly for the newer one here). Generally used with the jack rubber pad removed so it is a very secure fit between the adapter and the jack. Then customized on the end that interfaces with the x5.

At the front, it interfaces at the central jacking point, with an M12 bolt going through the hole in that rectangular steel pad. No way this would slip off.

The 4x4 is a piece of 4x4. The plastic looking thing is a very hard structural scrap of plastic I happened to have. Maybe Delrin or similar. Hard, easy to cut/machine.
