jacking pucks
Do you have to use jacking pucks on a C6 like you do on a C5?

Yes! The permanently installed ones are really nice, snap them in and forget it. I think they are about $40 from several vendors.

You risk having the rocker panels cracked or broken if you don't. Expensive to repair, too.

I keep a set of 4 in the car. When I get out of the car on the rare occasion that I have work done, the box of pucks gets placed in the driver's seat.

I have a set in my C6 that I bought from Southern Car Parts, and I had the same set in my C5. You should definitely get a set for yourself.

It is not totally necessary but I would use them, they are not expensive & may save you some costly damage
