Jacking / lifting pucks

I have a 2011 GS. Do I need a special set of jacking pucks for the GS? Do all C6 Corvettes use the same lifting / jacking pucks?

They will fit any/all C6s. I still have my set I bought for my C6 GS and they work in all of my C7s as well.

Jack pucks, I recommend the stay in place ones. You can find them on Amazon.

These aluminum ones;

Or the plastic ones;

All the same. I have the leave in place ones. I ended up removing them when not needed, since I wasn't sure if the holes were also used from drainage.

Amazon carries a good selection.
Reverse Logic offers some nice ones, as does ZL1 Addons.
You can also make your own.

I bought 4 hockey pucks at a used sporting goods store for $8. Works like a charm.

Make you own. It is like art and crafts time. 15.00 max and ten minutes to make four.

I made my own hockey puck ones, but next time I order from RA I will add these in.

Not really.

Aluminum frame C6 pucks require a longer neck than steel frame C6. The frame (rail) is taller on the aluminum frame.

4 hockey pucks with epoxy/drilled eye hook to secure in frame when I use them. Bought them on ebay 10 years ago for like $20 bucks. What I like about the hockey pucks is the hard rubber material that greatly reduces the chance of a jack slipping off them.
