Full woodworking shop. So I do. But I choose not to install them. I place the car on the jack stands and give it a shake to make sure that all 4 stands are positioned evenly. I feel a 2X4 would provide "slop" in the jack points and could allow the car to move or tilt. I guess some hard rubber in a pad shape would be useful.
If you choose to use the 2X4's I could see doing that. I just have never done it.
