Default lifting C6 using fl jack need pics

Hi All,
Once again I come to you all and humbly ask for your help. I need to lift the front and the back of my C6 to install sway bars, paint the calipers and change the rotors. I have everything I need, lifting pucks and all. I even have the manual but it doesn’t tell you how to use a floor jack. The problem is I don’t know where to put the jack to get the thing in the air (front or back at the same time). I have plenty of hard wood so I can cut it to any length that I need so I don’t break or bend anything. Does anybody have pics of the points I need to put the floor jack and where are the best places to put the jack stands?
Thanks much,
Mike

You lift the car at the at the jacking pucks. Install the pucks, place the jack under the puck and lift.

It's a simple car to jack...there are LOTS of places to jack it and put jackstands.

Just look under the car and you'll see plenty.

Jacking the car is not as hard as people make it out to be
