Default Jack Stand Question

If you Jack up the car on the pucks, where can you put a Jack stand?

Been looking for a solution to this for awhile and can't seem to find a real answer. I've seen some people say you can put a jack stand on the A arms on the front of the car but don't see anything about the rear. There's this thread here that has a picture of a c8 on jack stands but no explanation of *how* they actually did it. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...2-minutes.html

There’s not a straight forward way.

It ended up being the perfect excuse to order some Quick Jack stands.

That's pretty cool!

But I got a buddy with a lift and some quick jacks for myself

There's no GM diagram of approved/recommended locations like with the C7? Really?

Jackpoint jack stands work great with a floor jack for a C8.
