Does anyone sell a C5 Jack Adapter Prebuilt?
Seems like someone would build an inexpensive adapter for both front and rear jacking that could be attached to a floor jack. I know I can build them, but doesn't someone sell something like this?

I suspect you are looking for something like what NorthernTools sells that works perfectly for the C6's, but unfortunately it's a tad too long for the C5 
And it's only $30!!!
Here's the thread in the C6 forum about the cross-beam adapter

Yes, something like this is what I had in mind (but for a C5). I already have the pucks and that is what I use whenever I pull one wheel at a time. Just don't feel very confident about trying to lift a second wheel off the ground using this method. I guess ramps may be my best bet.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
