What's the diameter of the jack pad? Thanks.

The jack pad measures 3.75" across at the widest point.

My AC Hydraulic jackstands have a Thick Rubber Pad on them.

Nontheless..., just use a nice thick piece of wood if you have a regular metal top on you jackstand...

Seems like a waste of money for anything more IMO...

I would rather put the $$ towards a rubber pad on the jackstand itself. More versatile that can be utilized on the rear diffy or front engine jack point

this is what I use

Amazon.com: Advanced Tool Design Model ATD-7325 2 Ton Extra Low Profile Tuner Jack: Home Improvement

works perfectly on my X and super low M.

I have jack stands from Harbor Freight (Pittsburgh Tools). I bought the rubber pads they sell for them, but with or without the rubber pads, it was going to put pressure on the plastic rocker panels because the jack pads are almost flush with the surrounding plastic.

I found that the deck rail spindles at the hardware store are the perfect width (1.25"), so you just have to cut lengths of 2.25" and it fits snug as a bug.

As I am Canadian, and my kids play hockey, I have no shortage of hockey pucks laying around. They make absolutely perfect jacking pads. Ive used them for years on different applications.
sorry for resurrecting an old thread!
:cool:
