Jacking up a C6
#21
Drifting
Bought a 3 ton rapid pump jack from harbor freight for $80.
Bought 4 2x12x12 ft cut into 16 inch long pieces, so 2x12x16 $60
and a hockey puck for the jack to avoid the metel jack from touching the car. I used the four jacking points on the side of the car and slid 2 2x12x16 under each tire going in a circle around the car so as not to get any one tire too high off the ground. Did not want to bend or twist the frame. I also did not feel safe under the car on jack stands... this is not a typical car so did not do it the typical way. Got the car up with 15 inches of ground clearance and could have gone more if needed. Did an long tube install this way and was under the car for 8 hours with no problems. Took the car down the same way it went up. Any questions feel free to ask. Love to talk to other owners.
