Question Jacking up/Jack Stands/ Adapters

So I want to tackle the eventual brake job on my 2005 Cayenne Turbo. They're not ready to do any time soon, but I do have other maintenance items like the diverter valves to replace.,

My question is, what jack stands do you all recommend and what Jack/Jack stand pads do you suggest I use? I'd like to get all four corners off the ground safely.

Pads/stands/jack recommendations please!

I don't want to use a hunk of wood, or have to chop down a hockey puck. I'd rather just buy the tool..

Thank you all!

Also, I REALLY want to do my own oil changes..so this would help anyways.

I saw theirs, the placement of the jack stand doesn't look secure at all. What other options are there?

They look like jack adapters (thou, that is a Kluger/whatever they are called anywhere else).

Here are some pre-made hockey puck type adapters;

FWIW, I jack ours up like Pelican says and have had no issues.
If you've got air suspension, make sure you lock it in position.

What's wrong with using hockey pucks. I use them all the time, seem to work fine. Sometimes they need to be modified to fit. I think I saw Pelican sells some specific adapters.
