Default Jacking individual wheel

Is there a problem jacking an individual wheel.... such as one front wheel, using a floor jack? Pucks have been permanently installed and my floor jack matches the size of the puck. I've heard this is not a good idea because of body flexing on earlier Vette models. Is this also true of the C7?

It's fine. I have had all four corners of mine up and down twice. Once for the brake pads, and again to lower it. This chassis is stiff as heck. I to have the jacking pucks installed.

It's not a problem, as long as the inserts are in place.

I don't have the leave in type, but they stay in the cubby in the trunk, and don't ever leave the car.

They don't do anyone any good if they are in your garage or basement.
