Jacking Up C-5

Is there any reason I couldn't jack up one corner of my C-5 to remove a wheel to clean it? Would that cause any damage if just lifted slightly to allow removal of the wheel? Thanks

I did that when I painted my brake calipers and when I installed my Euro tailamps connection. No problem noted as far as I'm concerned

just tack it up from the front (or rear) cross bar between the wheels.

Either jack on a cross member or get a set of jacking pucks. I got mine from Elite Engineering and they work great.
