I've always found a hockey puck makes a great pad for a floor jack. You can cut a groove in them to handle lips.

I'll take a picture of my fumoto and you can all judge the clearance for yourselves.

Meh, I like using the front cross bar it seems more stable than lifting 1 side of the car. Plus my spindal is like 3 times bigger than a puck, it might move around the spindal and cause problems.

I like the idea of the fumoto, just clearance is too big of a risk to me. I know alot of people swear by them and say youll hit 50 other things before the fumoto touchs. However, if its an odd shaped thing on the ground that might miss everything else under the car and clips the fumoto... Just seems like playing with fire when you mess with the oil drain bolt. It only takes a second to unbolt and torque the normal bolt down. Wear a pair it gloves and you wont get oil'd on. Throw cardboard down and your garage will be fine.
