06/07 jack stand useage

The shop manual says that one should use jack stands with a rubber attachment on the corolla. Any idea where to find such an item. I took a block of hard wood and grooved it so that I could use a standard hydraulic floor jack to raise my cressida without digging out the service jack, wondering if this is the way to go with the corolla and jack stands? On my corolla when using the service jack only the inside of the u is lifting the car as the floor is about 1/4 inch lower on the inside of the "channel" the u fits around. This is at all four jacking points. Any toyota mechanics on this board that could shed some light?

I have searched in vain for years to find such an attachment. Every motor factors I have visited asking for axle stand chocks look at me as if I have 4 heads! I managed to buy some thick, hard rubber blocks from a rubber manufacturer and made suitable grooves with a saw to fit the jacking points. Works fine.
