Question About Prolonged Jacking/Lifting
I wanted to have the curb rash on my front wheels corrected.
I found a place that does excellent work but they may need the wheels for a couple of days.
Does anyone see an issue with me leaving the front of my C6 in the air supported by 2 jack stands at the "preferred jacking locations"?
Thank you.

I generally use a floor jack with an adaptor beam (augmented with jack stands) but IMO you'll be fine. Set the parking brake and chock the rear wheels. I don't know how you're lifting the car but the frame is a solid support as well (using jacking pucks at the oval frame slots).

Your plan will work fine. You gonna draft a spouse, or better yet a gear-head friend to run one jack while you run the other?
