Jacking Up the C5
Hello Fellow C5 Owners,
What's the best way to jack up and support the C5? I need to change oil in mine and do not want to damage any of the undercarriage.
Best regards,
Tripoli

The best way (safest anyway, if you don't have a 4-post hoist) is to use ramps for the front end and jack the back.
Here are some links I collected -

Mike Mercury home made ramps are great. Mine are on his site -

Hello Wheelboyo,
Thank you very much for all the links. It appears that the wooden ramps, front, and rear supports provide all that is necessary to get the C5 off the ground; thank-you very much.
Best regards,
