For the record Rivian recommends at least a 3 ton jack. If you don't want to remove underbody panels then you need jack pucks.

Lots of options for jack pucks. EV Sportline or Jackpucks.com (both site sponsors that have info posted on the site). There are also cheaper options available on Amazon. For the record I also have the Cat offroad jack for home use and use a bottle jack for road side emergencies (but I haven't had to use it yet).

Thank you! I purchased a set of jack pucks from this site but just didn't know what grade of jack to use. It looks that a 3 ton is sufficient.

I got this even more price sensitive floor jack: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR569TKM/

Others have mentioned in related threads that they have trouble raising the rear wheel enough. If you use the Megawatt Jack puck, which seems to be taller than many others, it will lift the rear enough to change a tire.

Edit: it's also low profile enough to fit under sedans and smaller SUVs.

$279 (normally $319) . Great build quality. If u do not need a toolbox, worth using the coupon.

Promo is already active for Club members, live for everyone else on Friday.

279 for Black Friday

But with your no exclusions coupon you would get it at 239 so that is better. I used my no exclusions already on a tool box.
