I see mention that if you plan to have work down anywhere that you should bring your own jack pucks....are the pucks a special size? Why would a shop not alreay have them for pickup trucks etc.

Thanks

Yes to fit in the holes in the bottom of the Rivian. Regular ICE Ladder frame trucks don't require pucks and other unibody cars and trucks have pinch welds for lifting.

From what I've seen Discount Tires has the pucks.

But, I don't know if there are any in Canada.

Are the pucks specific to Rivian, or are the pucks that are available universal?

Poke your head under the side and you’ll understand; the underbody cover obscures the length of the frame rails where one would normally put the lift. There are 4 small holes punched in the cover at the lift points that only fit the jack pucks.
You can do it without the pucks by either removing the cover or by mangling the cover. Or, just drop $40 ($Merkan) on the pucks and store them under a seat.

As noted, Rivian's require Jack Pucks. We've designed and built our own magnetic jack pucks and kits, which we have delivered thousands in the USA and ship every day to customers in Canada (automatic Canadian pricing on our site). Our pucks work with commercial lifts and have an anti-slip tacky grip, floor jack compliant and work with hydraulic bottles jacks as well.

There is a reason we've sold thousands....and would love to put a set in your hands. Hundreds of kits in-stock and we ship the same day. Rivian Yellow and Radiant Red are available. Free shipping in all 50 States and good rates to our Nothern Neighbors.

It depends. I had my tires rotated at America's tire and they had their pucks for the Rivian. Their jacks are different than ones that come with the spare tire kit, those won't work with their jacks.

The best bet it to call and make sure and emphasize that you have an R1T and that they need pucks to lift them and ask them specifically if they have the Rivian pucks.

I'm at discount tire getting my first tire rotation done. They said they had pucks for the rivian but the ones they're using aren't magnetic so they spent 20 mins fiddling around with them to try and get them seated correctly. I think I'll be buying a set of magnetic jack pucks and keeping them in the R1S from here on out.

The small shop that rotated my tires really appreciated the magnetic feature of my pucks as they adjusted the lift arms so I'd really recommend the magnetic version.
