I just use Esco 10499 (short) jack stands with the flat rubber top and no adapters at all.
They work perfectly, are ridiculously stable with 3 tons each capacity, and no damage to the plastic jacking points that people use these adapters for; so long as you don't just drop the car full speed onto them. Not cheap, around $200 for a set of four, but they are the best. |

On the very safe and easy but very expensive end of the spectrum are JackPoint Jackstands. Worth looking into at least...

I'm interested for sure. I have 2 perfectly good jack stands and it would be nice to use them rather than to spend $55 each on the Esco jack stands. Although those do look nice.

Boy those are definitely beauties. I guess I'm just cheap and old school, I took a few old hockey pucks and cut them down with a hack saw to form a block the same size as the receptacle on the frame. I made them about 1/2 thickness of the puck so a nice pad is left on the bottom. I sit one on each of my Hyd floor jacks and they work like a charm. I keep one in my trunk just in case although I don't have a jack in the car.
