How are you guys jacking your gen v? Do they have a spot to use a puck? If so where's a good place to buy the pucks? Thx

Behind the front tires and in front of the rear tires. Look under and you can see the all 4.

For the rear, the metal pan has a square opening located just behind the rear diff. Use a hockey puck purchased from Amazon fits perfectly there.

You don't need a puck for the 4 corner spots. There is a inverted trianglular shaped lift point. My jack and jack stands have soft pads. I did buy a puck thinking I needed it for the sides but then realized it fit perfectly within the rear slot under the diff to lift the rear end up. For a better weight distribution while jacked, I put stands under the engine mounts on the front instead of using the front jacking points I mentioned above. Good luck.

I made a set of pucks for various uses. (some for pinch weld lifting on some cars)....but. Just head to your local sports
store and pick up a pack of hard rubber hockey pucks. I routed out the center and about 3/8" deep x 3/8" wide...it varies.

FYI, you can service both front and rear tires on the same side by using the rear jack point, the car is stiff enough.
