Sorry, Another Jacking Question ???
Ok, I have had the C5 for several months now and finally purchased a jack, hockey pucks, a pair of jackstands and a pair of chocks. The jack is a low profile and will easily slide under the side of the car. I have located the jacking points at the front of the door. I guess my question is to know if I can lift at each side and place a jackstand or do I have to now go and buy lumber to lift at the front. I am wanting to clean the front wheels, paint the calipers and install side vent screens.
Thanks !!

I use the Rhino Ramps, then lift it up a bit more with a floor jack and place the jack stands in place. Remove the Rhino Ramps and you are all set to work on the wheels.
