Default Floor Jack For Corvette

Does anyone know if there is a floor jack designed low enough to fit under a C6? I have three different ones and none of them are close to fitting under my 13 GS.

Check out summit, i bought mine from them. Even the lowest is not low enough for the front especially if it is a GS. Also harbor tools have really nice ones, one of them so low and long that you can jack up the front of the car all the way from the rear (just kidding but almost) they are veery heavy though

Harbor Freight, has a low profile 1 1/2 ton racing jack that will work depending on how low your car is if it is not at stock height. Cost $60 when they run a coupon for it. Very and I've been using it for both my 2012 GS and 2001 C5

Omega 29023 - 2 Ton Low Profile Extended Reach Service Jack.

This one works well.

Harbor Freight has the best prices I found on a low profile floor jack..I just got the "standard length" low profile jack for $89.00 on sale at HF and it works great. I also got the accessory attachment with the adjustable arms that allows you to span the rear end and jack the car from the rear....Can't beat the deals they have........WW

I've since made the inclines a little less sharp cause the tires pushed them, works great now

The Milwaukee Hydraulics Model 20 works fine with my '06 Coupe. Still made in the USA.

Got mine from Harbor Freight, but after a few years, it no longer works like it used to. Still raises, but not 3 pumps, probably 8-10, and won't stay up, slowly lowers. But I guess for the money, its pretty good.

My harbor freight low pro fits under it fine and it lifts my diesel 2500 4x4 no problem too, I also have a craftsman low pro jack that fits just fine.

Another vote for Harbor Freight. I have found that it works best if I drive the car up on some scrap 2 x 10's first. Seems to make the process a little easier.

I have an Omega 29023, its fits under a C5,C6 and C7 and clears the air dam.

Its a bit more pricey, and it weighs about 120 pounds.
