Jack Pads
Question: when the X5 goes on a 4-point lift, are jack pads needed? (see first picture below) I want to say no, since the weight is distributed evenly on all 4 points, and the lift arms themselves cover enough surface area to make contact on the entire rectangular jack point (see second picture below).
My interpretation is, only use a jack pad if whatever device you are using that makes contact with the rectangular jack point is unable to cover the entire surface area? |

You don't have to buy the Turner motorsports brand.... just buy a cheap set on eBay. They are worth having. In fact, I bought a cheap UGLY set on eBay... in "neon road-cone orange"... so I'd never lose them - LOL Get 4. You'll likely never use all 4 at once.... but keep them in the car, and next time a mechanic wants to jack your car up using a 4-post life, give them to him. He'll resent you, because it's extra work... but make him use them anyway.
