If you could post a link to your steel washers that would be great. Also when you lifted your R1S onto the Rennstand did you have it in the highest position? I have heard that it is unsafe. I generally have it on the second highest for my Model X. Thanks.

I have four standard Rennstands that I bought a long time ago. I know they are not the higher "Rivian-official" ones.

1) Does anyone know if these jack adapters work with the original Rennstands

2) Does anyone have experience using the original Rennstands? Are they really too low?
I have used the original rennstands to rotate my tires. They are fine for the front wheels but just barely too short for the rear wheels by like an inch or so if I recall. You can put some wood under both sides or other such work arounds but yeah a bit too short I think.

Look on eBay for the Tesla Rennstands/Safe Jack, it's not the taller version that is on the rivian part site, but it can be procured for $150/jack and with the jack puck, it'll get your wheels about 5 inches off the group. I got some steel washers that had an inner diameter that fit the Tesla adapter's post and use friction between the adapter and the jack puck (like would be done with my regular jack).

Are you just doing one wheel at a time and then using the other jack point? Or are you jacking from a suspension arm and putting two stands under one side?

Purchased the plate washers (3"x3"x1/4") from Fasteners Inc. (via eBay). Inner diameter is 3/4"

Two wheels at a time (I got a pair) using jack pucks at the jacking points.

Thx, so are you lifting under the stand and then lowering the legs down to support it?

Weren't they like $530 or something each stand @ retail? That is quite a premium they are asking.

If I am going to use a jack stand, I simply lift the Rivian from the lower control arm, just like Rivian field support does. Then, lower the vehicle onto my jack stand equipped with our magnetic puck. It’s a straightforward, sturdy, and cost-effective solution!

I bought the awesome Harbor Freight Badlands jack, their 3T jack stands, a Big Red 10T bottle jack, and Mark's 4 puck pack plus one of his XL pucks, for less than the price of one Rivian Rennstand.
