my new to me 03 is lowered and I wanted to know if I can use the sears motorcycle jack I use on the Harley to lift the rear of the vette just long enough to get jack stands under it.jack is rated to 1500lbs

dadaroo

No, not safe. The car is over 3200 lbs and the weight distribution is close to 50-50 front to rear.

You can... it's your car, and your jack... but, if it were my car and my jack I wouldn't.

Get low profile aluminum floor jack for about $200. Best investment ever...wish i would have bought mine 15 years earlier.

dadaroo

Don't encourage him. His is going to be putting jack stands under the car.

firstvette99

Thanks for the input looks like a low profile jack it is.

If you're putting anything more than an arm under the car to place the jackstands then you're doing it wrong....

Sorry, didn't mean for it to look like encouragement, meant it to be more facetious

DO NOT use the MOTORCYCLE jack on a CAR!

If you are low-buck or just need it rarely, get a super-low-profile jack from any 1993-2002 Camaro/Firebird, for $10 or so at any junkyard for a like-new one.
They come with a folding handle or you can use an electric drill for a "power" option.
