I use these with jack stands:

They work pretty well. And fit well over my jackstands. They are like very hard rubber.

A bit overkill IMO lol. The rubber ones work completely fine. They're hard rubber not soft pliable

Just look through some of the negative reviews on amazon, that's enough for me to stay away from them.
These pads are good enough for a jack, but for a jack stand they look sus as fcuk.

Negative reviews are always a vocal minority on amazon products. It's got an overall 4.3 rating which is solid. For every person that had an issue, 4-5 other people didn't or didn't bother rating it because it worked fine and they don't review products.

Like I said, they're the same kind of metal/solid rubber pieces that normal jack pads come as for the regular flat jacks.

Those are soft imo, i'll stick with the metal jack stand attachment.

The rear lift point is the fins on the diff, but I would rather use a 2x4 under the control arms where the spring is.

Thanks. I was impatient and used the fins but put a 2x4 on top of it. I’ll try the control arms next time.
