What are Jack Pucks? Jack Pucks are precision-machined aluminum spacers designed specifically for Rivian vehicles, enabling safe lifting for tire rotations or changes. The Magnetic Jack Pucks, a market-first innovation, securely attach to the vehicle for a more stable tire change or rotation process.

Question: I'm not a car person, nor will I rotate my Rivian tires myself. Just let me know what to buy for my Rivian (R1S or R1T) so I can have my tires rotated or replaced most effectively.  

Response:  Purchase this kit, it's all you need. 

Approximately 90% of our Rivian customers purchase a complete kit, even if they don't plan to rotate their own tires. They do so to ensure that tire service centers, which often lack the necessary pucks, have the tools they need. This is why our customers prefer the full kit, which includes four magnetic jack pucks and a protective case. Peace of mind matters, especially away from home. 

Why do I need these? Doesn't my Rivian come equipped to handle tire changes, rotations, or new installations at Discount Tire, my preferred shop, or even at home?

Response: Our Rivians lack the necessary tools for tasks like tire rotations, new tire installations, or roadside repairs. You'll need our Magnetic Jack Puck Kit (4 pucks per kit) to safely lift your vehicle for these tasks.

Question: Are Tesla pucks compatible with my Rivian? Someone said, they are.

Response: No, they aren't. They don't fit, nor are they designed for the weight of a Rivian. 

Question: I see you recommend and use yourselves the Torin Big Red 10T Bottle Jack that sells on Amazon. Is there a reason why you chose this one and can't I use something else?

Response: Magnetic jack pucks are designed to fit the Big Red 10T Hydraulic Bottle Jack for a few key reasons: 1) It has the capacity to easily lift the Rivian, 2) It’s affordable and readily available on Amazon, and 3) It provides enough height to lift the front wheels. For the rear, a 2" block is needed. Smaller 4-8T jacks don’t have enough lift for the tires.  You can use any bottle jack that has a top hat diameter of 1.3" or less. 

Question: I see the XL Jack Puck, should I get this too and why?

Response: If you plan to take your R1S or R1T off-road, or want to have a single puck for road-side reparis, then purchase the XL puck.  20% of our customers (and increasing) purchase both a kit and the XL for full coverage. Use discount code 'XL Combo' for $10 off when you buy both together.

Question: My Rivian came with a spare tire kit, which includes the OEM tire change setup featuring a large plastic lifting device (puck). Why should I invest in your magnetic jack puck kit? Am I overlooking something?

Response: You still need our kit. Rivian provides a single tool for one wheel/tire, but it's a subpar solution—your Rivian needs four tools for proper tire changes. Rivian's "Eiffel Tower Contraption" is bulky and cumbersome. Many prefer our kit for its simplicity and effectiveness.

Random Question for Mark: Who came up with the idea for jack pucks?

Response: Jack pucks have been around for years in the Tesla and Corvette world. Rivian was the first to provide a jack adapter type product.  We just built a better one and were first with a magnetically coupled jack puck.

To easily change, rotate, switch to winter tires, or install new ones on your Rivian—whether at a tire shop, at home, or at a repair facility—you'll need our Magnetic Jack Pucks. Designed by a Rivian owner, they fit perfectly into the frame's lift points, located under four round caps. 

Alternatively, you could remove several plastic panels and hardware to access the frame rail, risking damage or misplaced parts. Our magnetic jack pucks eliminate this hassle, making them an essential accessory according to our customers.

1. Grip Tech Cap : The removable high-traction rubber cap features 48 anti-slip contact points, ensuring a secure grip both in hand and on your lifting device. This unique feature, ideal for floor jacks and flat metal commercial lifts, significantly reduces the risk of slippage. The new caps are also compatible with Gen 1 pucks, making retrofitting easy (available separately).

2. Intergrated Bottle Jack Port (1.30" dia.) Torin BIG RED 10T Ideal

Our pucks fit any bottle jack with a top hat diameter of 1.3" or less. We recommend the "Big Red 10 Ton Bottle Jack by Torin," available on Amazon. Its higher tonnage lifts an R1 vehicle effortlessly, and the beveled edge ensures precise self-centering of the puck on the jack. The Torin jack fits perfectly under the R1T's rear seat or in the R1S's rear compartment, making it ideal for roadside tire changes.

Note: The Big Red 10T lifts the front two wheels with one puck. For the rear, use either two stacked pucks, RV jack pads, or a 2" block to accommodate the additional suspension travel.

Since getting my Rivian R1T in March 2022, I've learned that Jack Pucks are essential for tire changes, rotations, and new tire installations. I designed the perfect solution using SolidWorks and created a padded case to complement it. Just hand the kit to your tire center, and they'll handle everything seamlessly.
