Jacking the C6- please help
I know about the jacking pucks that are available; however, I recall a thread, which I now cannot locate, describing a tool that allows you to jack the vette up and then place two jack stands so as to hold the car up high enough to really work under. I believe it was essentially just a metal bar that spanned the gap between two hard-points with a couple of jacking pucks. The idea was to lift the car with this tool by jacking from the middle (with a low profile floor jack) and then placing jackstands under the edges.
I would like one for front and back so I can set the whole car up in the air without tweaking anything by going one corner at a time.
If anyone has such a tool I will buy it. Or, can anyone recommend a set of ramps that would allow me to get under there with less hassel. Thanks.

The crossbeams work like a charm. I had to do a little modification on them so they would adapt to my floor jacks and sit securely on my jack stands. 
Sorry for the fuzzy pic...but you get the idea.
