So how are you able to use your QJ with the R1T lift points being so far apart & front/rear not being on the same plane?
Early on I was looking at modifying the QJ (April), but as you noted the math doesn't work. The QJ is for my ICE vehicles, but the pad extension diameter was close enough to use as a jack puck....

This looks like a great solution for floor jacks that have the "cup" for the puck to sit in.

Do you plan to offer, or has anyone seen, something that will be stable on a typical bottle jack? In the field the jack might be at an angle and and it looks like this version would slip off under those circumstances.

Just placed my order yesterday. I'm anxious to hear reviews from some of the first to receive these.

I'd like to see some reviews also. In the video, it looks like these things really snap into place. I'm hoping that a bit of incidental contact (e.g. while positioning the jack) isn't enough to make them fall out.

So...they're shipping like any moment now? ;-)
As we discussed you'll be able to get to your appointment on the 15th. Looks like they arrive on your doorstep Tuesday......a novel solution.

There are a few people working on bottle jack solutions, myself included. If you follow the Rivian instructions on setting the truck in the 'high' position prior to jacking up the vehicle, then you will need a very tall bottle jack. I have a solution for US Jacks, just haven't built any except for a proto-type. The volume will be quite low, so the cost will be commensurate with the production volume.

I had measured how much lift you need to get the vehicle off the ground, but I'll run in the garage now with the floor jack and the vehicle set in high mode and measure again.

Safe Jack has extensions as high as needed. Stability on the top of the jack is what is needed. They offer several adapters for the top of a bottle jack that demonstrate one way a Rivian puck type could be designed.
