Lifting pucks
I seen some talk on lifting pads for C5 I found some in the store and they are a nice tool to keep the lift off the body (if you have a car lift you need to order 4) just in case anyone was wondering :smash: :smash: :flag

Re: Lifting pucks (eastco)
If your lifting on the crossmembers with a standard floor jack you just need a block of wood. "Pucks" are from lifting at the corners, according to the owners manuel it recomends lifting at all 4 points at the same time (altough some members do lift one at a time, its not recommended), they are really designed for 2 Post lifts. For jack use, the owners manuel recommends lifting from the crossmembers, where you would just use a piece of thick wood to even the load out a little.

Re: Lifting pucks (rschiltz)
I had my car lifted with a floor jack behind the front tire, no problem just make sure you place it behind the rocker panels. also had it on a lift just make sure the mechanic is careful where he places the pads.

Re: Lifting pucks (Evil-Twin)
2 sandwiched Hockey pucks work good!!!
I was able to use just one hockey puck ($1 each at Dick's Sporting Goods) and have about 3/8" clearance from the jack to the rocker panels.
I'm wondering if your jack has a deep pocket type pad...

Re: Lifting pucks (c5edko)
went to a Chevy dealer today, they had a c5 on the lift getting an oil change, they didn't use any pucks.
I bought a set from Fichtner Chevrolet (supporting dealer, see my signature)I now carry them with me at all times in case I need unexpected service (i.e. flat repair) while on the road. Chances are that if you need something unexpectedly the shop you end up at won't have lift pucks.
