Default Blocks for putting a C7 ZO6 on a lift

I see several pucks advertised for the c7. Does anyone have a preference on which one is best

I second ZL1Addons.

I have their bolt in jack pucks and they install in 10 min. I've driven at least 1k miles so far with no issues.

I also went with ZL1Addons, just because I wanted them in place at all times

If you have side skirts you need taller pucks with most lifts.

Cheap indeed, but I used those for years, hated them! They don't stay in place (at least mine didn't)... I bought a set that clips in permanently and I'm pretty happy with that. Not sure if they'll last as long as the bolt-in kind, we shall see.

I think at least one of my European cars have rubber snubbers where the jacking points are. Not sure why GM left them naked on these cars.

I'm using the aluminum jacking pucks I bought for my C5Z. I got them from Zip Corvette back in 2002.

I have the Quickjack BL-7000SLX Car Lift that works fantastic, I picked these up in a bright color to help me line up the lift which comes with a great set of blocks.

Default Lifting pucks

Since I haul the Vette to the track for HPDE events, the bolt in's are a pain in the butt. I am with the cheap guys, wood blocks work fine.

The taller pucks are for cars with skirts that are going on a two post lift. You need the taller pucks so the lift arms do not hit the side skirts.
