Review on πŸ”§ Universal Rubber Slotted Frame Rail Pinch Welds Protector Jack Stand Pads Adapter 4 Ton - HXXF Jack Stand (Black) by Dang Reid

A puck on a puck is a bonus! Model 3 heavy

This item comes in a thick black bag, each puck is packed in a separate plastic bag. I only change tires so I only need 2 pucks at a time. So I left the other two washers unused in the bag and box. Washers feel heavy and hard. I really like the black rubber disc! You can buy them separately at hardware stores for about a dollar each, but why bother when this kit comes with them. Other washers sold at Revain did not offer rubber washers, so this set gives you more benefits (washer + bag). The Tesla Model 3 is heavy, so it's nice to have a rubber washer. I think the red o-rings are a bit larger than they should be, so you have to use some force to twist the washers to get them in. But once they're in, they stay in. Between the ground and the puck. Therefore, to raise the M3 it is best to have a low profile 3 ton jack. You can save money and buy a less durable 2.5 ton (5000 lb) jack. But cheaper jacks usually have a minimum lift height of about 4.5 inches. I've seen a 2.5-ton, low-profile HUSKY floor jack (model #HD7024A) at Home Depot for $57 with a minimum living height of 3.375 inches. So this husky jack will get the job done if you are on a budget. The M3 Long Range's curb weight is 4,250 pounds, so 2.5 tons is plenty. But you're risking your life and your car to save a few bucks. Buy a 3-ton low profile car ($120-$150) so you can lift a 5741 lb Model X too! A YouTube post says to remove the rubber pad from the bushing to allow the washer to sit in the mount, basically giving it a circumference to keep it from slipping. I do not recommend doing this! When you remove the rubber pad you create metal-to-metal contact and increase slippage, as well as the washer and bushing. Hold the rubber pad in place so that the metal (washer) touches the rubber pad, making it more stable. look at my picture After using these washers I did notice some wear on the red o-rings, but that was to be expected. There is no damage to the metal, so I am very happy with this product. I would like to do the tire change earlier. The two rear tires wear out much quicker than the front tires, but I've found that they wear out evenly. I found more uneven wear on the inner tread (side closest to the engine) of both front tires. If anyone knows if uneven wear on Model 3 front tires is normal, please let me know. Not sure if it's an alignment issue... Thanks!
