jack stand help
New owner and I'm looking for info and suggestions how to get my C5 up on four jackstands. Plan to get the Sears 3 1/2 " floor jack and four jacking pads for the frame. Is there a safe location to jack in the front and rear to elevate enough to get jackstands under the pads?
Thanks...

This is exactly how I get all 4 wheels of mine up in the air. It is really quite stable when you move from one end to the other as long as you have some good jack stands and you don't have your raised end way up in the air.

Go to a local hockey supply store get the $1 pucks, and get some large eye bolts at Lowe's. You'll have jacking pucks built for $10. And for working on the car -on 4 jackstands, using the pucks provides better accessibility under the car.
