Post subject:  On 2 Post Lift--Pad Style?
Hello Fellas,

When you put your vehicle on a 2 post lift, what style pad are you using?

There is a substantial pinchweld that extends below the bottom of the subframes, mostly to the front of the vehicle, and I am really not thrilled about lifting on the edge of this flange. One, I am afraid it will bend over. Two, it's cutting like hell into a flat, square pad, ruining them while still sitting somewhat in the flange.
I tried a round pad, keeping it to the inside of the pinchweld, but still on the flat undersurface of the subframe. I really don't like this as it is not centered, could slide off to the inboard side and looks to be a little dicy.
I thought about a block of wood to make up the height of the pinchweld, but wanted to hear what you all had been using to lift the Jeep.

Suggestions appreciated soon as the Jeep will be on and off the lift quite a bit in the near future.

TIA.

P.S. I posted this in the 4x4 section also because you hardcore guys always seem to have your crawler on the lift!

Would be pretty hard to bend that pinch weld, you can sit jack stands under it and it will hold. My KJ has only been on a lift once and that was at 129,000 when I put the last tires on and they just used the square pad right under that same pinch weld.

Of course I am not one of those hard core guys who has his crawler on a lift all the time :wink: They must break a lot of things to be always working on them :roll:
