- How Would the SnapPad Base Install Onto Andersen Jack Blocks?

- SnapPads like part # SP54FR4 are not able to be used under the Stromberg Carlson Base Pad Extreme # SC33VR as they wouldn't properly fit the base of the base pads. The base pads can be used under the SnapPads to help clear up large gaps though.
