Quickjack lift points.
Just got my Quickjack put together, but haven’t tested it with my C6 yet. The lift points on the car in the owners manual don’t seem to be compatible with the quickjack. Can anyone show me what lift points they are using with their quickjack? Photos greatly appreciated.

I get the quickjack supplied rubber blocks positioned directly under the lift points on the frame rails, and they fit easily in the body panel “cut out” area around the frame rail lift points. Using the metal jacking pucks that I have, made the car pretty unstable during the lift process ....mine actually started to slide off on one side when I lifted the car...with my jacking pucks installed and also using the quickjack rubber blocks....so I don’t use my jacking pucks with my quickjack. Maybe “rubber” jacking pucks might work better vs metal ones....but the different sized rubber blocks that quickjack sent along, work fine.

I also have the 5000, and plan on using the lifting points shown, with the supplied rubber blocks. In the owners manual it shows lifting points on the frame, just inside the wheels. I don’t see how a quickjack could use those points. They seem to be more intended for a professional lift like what you would find at a shop.

Sorry for the guy going turtle, but can some one point arrows to the jack points other than the frame pad points. That is the perfect picture for demo purposes.
Like where to place jack stands.
Thanks

You can also use a jack on the frame lift points. The frame is stiff enough where jacking up the front will also lift the rear wheel off the ground. I typically use a floor jack and a metal 2X4 wide enough to install jackstands on the ends. Not recommended to suspend both front and read of the car this way, if I need to have the entire car in the air, I'll support one end on the cross member and the other on the frame.
