Looking to pick up a low profile jack & pucks so i can do my own own oil changes and brake pads etc, looks like the ride height front to rear is 3“ & 5”, harbor freight has nothing under 3-1/4 that i can see, so just looking for some recommendations, thanks 👍
The below is Harbor Freight low profile jack and pucks I've used successfully for years. The foot pedal is great for tight areas where you don't have space for handle travel. Some people like the 'leave-in' pucks, however I know two vette owners who have had them fly out and damage rocker panels, so not for me.
Keep mine in the trunk cubby and only takes about a minute to install one.

I was going off this diagram for
the front and rear points, actually the side spots with pucks should suffice for what i need, need to measure and check harbor freight again lol

I got mine from harbor freight last week. Pittsburgh 3 ton low profile Jack and it worked really well. Smooth, plenty of height, felt strong, fit underneath with about an inch to spare. However, it’s quite heavy Mine is lowered on the stock bolts.
Daytona from HF is my favorite. Have saved so much money with it. Oil changes, brakes jobs etc. I also have the Pittsburgh 3 ton and use it when I want to jack both sides. And lastly have the 1.5 ton aluminum one from HF I rarely use anymore. I prefer the heavy duty 3 tons.

I have this jack. It works great. Always use jack stands.
I use an HF aluminum jack, actually have 3 of them. Two of the smallest ones and one of the larger ones. The larger one is easier to pump and goes higher.
Thanks everyone !! Pucks are ordered, mobile1 picked up at Walmart and hitting harbor freight this week for the extended reach low pro jack, appreciate the help 👊

I've had this same jack now for nine years which was a helluva bargain for $80 when on sale at the time. They don't offer this model anymore but do offer more expensive 3-ton jacks now. Mine has worked flawlessly on my C6 and two C7s, but bought a QuickJack about five years ago and use it most of the time now for routine maintenance. The HFT is still in my garage at the ready for quickie projects, like removing one wheel, etc.
Also, you might consider making some ramps. I made two of these with 2x12" boards for minimal cost and added another layer after this photo was taken for more height. What you see is assembled with screws and glue, but the third level is quickly removable using pins. With the extra level you have enough space to change the oil, etc., that is if you aren't circumferentially challenged.
