What is the minimum floor jack height required for our Zo6’s?

For stock, I'm guessing near 4" but I'd go & buy a low profile on if I were you. Check out Sears Craftsmans ALuminum jack....red, lightweight, & bad @ ss! :thumbs:

Yup!
and they have a low profile at Costco too.
But it's still not low enough. :nonod:

The AC Hydraulic low profile jacks are the best quality I have seen and they easily clear the side panels of the Z06, even with lifting pucks.

I think the lift height is a little less than 4 inches in the rear and that's not using a "lifting puck" as specified in the owners manual. I had a sears jack that was 4.2" high in the front but it would not fit under the rear liftings points. You will need something probably closer to 3.4" high in order to get a lifting puck on there and still lift the rear. Lower is always better though when it comes to lifting the Vette. Here is some info. from the forum:
