I do most of the maintenance on my cars. I want to jack the Vette up with a floor jack. I've looked at all the lift location diagrams, but they only show the lift locations if you're using a lift.

Is it possible to put a floor jack under the engine crossmember and lift the whole front of the car.? I know it's a cast aluminum frame. The jack would go in the middle between the 2 front recommended jacking points, on the crossmember.

Also same issue jacking up the rear? I'm not crazy about jacking one corner of the car that high, using the floor jack. I'd worry about cracking the body panels. I'd rather lift the whole front or back of the car.

I have 7" high blocks, I'd like to get under all 4 wheels, but want to do it without damaging the car......or me!!

I have jacked up the individual corners and it doesn't damage the car. It's pretty stiff and light, the entire side of the car will lift. Just use a puck and a low profile jack.

Hockey puck + low-profile jack here, works perfectly. There is a jacking point near each wheel, along with other jacking points towards the center. I can also drive up onto ramps for oil changes.

Thanks for all the feedback. I have the pucks ordered, and my floor jack fits under the rockers with a couple inches to spare.
