We sell the Jacking pads for your C6. You won't beat our prices

Will these work with a standard floor jack or do you need a low profile jack?

Yes, a standard floor jack would work just fine.

Installed on a Non-lowered C6, you will have 4-3/8" clearance between the bottom of the Jacking Pad and the floor.

They are used to safely jack your car. They fit into the existing (4) slotted holes in your frame and protect your body panels with lifting with a floor jack.

LS,
Seems to me that they would scrape. Why just not leave them in the aft storage compartment? Are they difficult to install while on the road in an emergency? But leaving them in could be a good thing – sparks as you go over bumps. Like NASCAR guys blowing fuel out the exhaust as they corner.
Thanks for the insight

Just placed the order, thanks.
I didn't see a way to chose colors so either red or blue whichever you have in stock. I prefer red.

Brett,

Thanks for the order. I just changed it to Red.

I'm trying to decide whether to manufacture these in red or blue. It really keeps my costs down to only offer one color. However, at this time I can offer either the red or blue Jacking Pads.

Thanks again,

Jeff

Thanks. I am not sure if this will help but I will tell you why I chose red. In my opinion the blue looked better but I thought the red would be easier to see under the car when I was jacking up the car.
