Default Absolutely lowest profile lifting pucks?

So I got a new low pro jack and I've realized I can get it under my car without having to drive up on anything, but my jacking pucks are 1" thick, who makes the lowest profile ones out there, leave in or not doesn't matter

The leave in ones are thin about 5/8"

I am using a set of BMW jacking pucks on mine and they are a low profile design. I have seen pics of others posted here on the forum that are of a similar low profile design.

Hey Jack, in regards to the BMW pucks, they are the snap in place ones correct ? And if so how well do they hold up ? Do you leave them in place or remove them ? Have you ever lost one ?

I use the home made hockey puck/eye bolt pads right now and as much as it's not really all that difficult to install, remove , put away , etc, etc, the idea of put them in and leave them sounds better.

I have a set of the snap in pucks that I can't use due to my rocker rails being 3/4" high. Send me a PM if interested, they are just sitting here collecting dust.

I've used the snap in BMW pucks, listed above for sale on Rock Auto, on two C5's. They are hard plastic and hold up well. I leave them in year round and have never lost one. Although I do keep a spare in the storage bin.

I had my BMW style snap in pucks in my 99 for over a decade and about 76k miles. Never lost one. Installed the same type on my 03.

I have had the snap-in plastic ones shatter on me while jacking my C7 up. Rather than risk that again, I upgraded to a set of these:
