How are you supposed to lift up the front end of the car with Amuse Side skirts??

Ksport makes these also. Corvette racecar Air Jack system test - YouTube

Hockey pucks work, but I think that this will out last a hockey puck because it has more material once the puck is channeled out.

YMMV
Can you post up a pic of the backside of it, and sitting in your jack? I have a craftsman LP jack thats of similar design, and if it looks good, I'll order one right now.

What I do to avoid the sliding is place the adapter into the pinch weld & then bring the jack into it. That jack will bit into the adapter & the pinch weld keeps it from popping out. Plus it gives you enough clearance to get under the car

Yes you could trim it down as it is only polymer. This is the jack that I have. You can also take the cup off this jack & drill the center out of the lifting pad little & it will sit lower on the jack without any sliding trouble.
