Question Floor jack & stands

Looking to get a new floor jack and some stands but would like something padded so as not the tear up the unibody fram rails. Who can point me to a reasonably priced supplier?

Here's some sweet gear. Unfortunately it doesn't fall into the reasonably priced category. I don't think I'd want to pay the shipping charge on any floor jack.

Check out this thread.

Has a tale of woe of someone who tried lifting from the factory jacking points without an insert. Looks like you can make an insert for the factory points pretty simply and then lift from there without damaging the frame rails. Haven't needed to do so myself yet, but I will be making up a set soon.

Gotten anything useful from MINI2? How about giving a little something back?
