Default Jacking C-4???

Recently I raised my 95 coupe and put it on four jack stands. It was a thrill a moment. Using a floor jack and the stands what is the best way to raise the c-4? How about the placement of the jack stands?

There are a few questions you need to answer for yourself. How much do you feel you are going to be under your Vette? Maybe every winter doing projects? Maybe just changing your own oil and filter? Safety should be part of your decission in putting your Vette on 4 jack stands. Here is my solution:


It's a KwikLift


With a good creeper, you can do anything and it's much easier. Just thought you'd like to know.
