Default Jacking pucks, Jack stands.

Where in the hell do I put my jack stands when my floor jack is on the jacking pucks.

TIA!

what I do is jack the car up and put race ramp wheel cribs under each wheel - see link below.

Nice, thanks for posting, I'm more refiring to wheels off maintenance. swapping tires, changing brakes things like that.

I use the transport locations (the ones with the round holes that you're not supposed to use when using a lift) to lift with a floor jack so I can place jack stands with pucks at the official lifting locations. I use a puck between the jack and car that have a locating feature that will fit in the round hole to make sure it can't slip. I use two floor jacks so I can lift both sides (front or rear) at the same time but I think it would work fine to lift one side and then the other (but I haven't tried it). If you are concerned that the car might "teeter" when lifting at the rear transport holes then you could put something heavy in the frunk. It hasn't been a problem for me.

rennstand.com

These work great. I jack it up about 2 inches , then slip a 2 x 6 under the tire. Let it down and then put the top of the jack stand in place. The board gives me the extra clearance to roll it under the car. I only bought one as I do not plan on taking off more that one wheel at a time. Got mine from amazon

Could you post a photo of your car up on one corner using the Rennstand? Which did you buy? I held off because I was afraid it’d be too wide.

Rennstand seems like a great solution. Your jacking point = Jack stand point. The only other solution I’ve seen is quickjack which is a wee bit expensive for my taste.

Rennstand for corvette/range rover 18M-rs3-k18 This will give you the needed "puck" . You will not need any additional adapters. I currently do not have the C8 to take pic.
The one jack stand setup works well for me as i only wanted to lift it enough off of the 2x8 to be able to remove the tire.

I also use the Rennstands. I have 4 they work great except like stated have to lift and place on 4x4 or race ramp first to get it high enough to use. Other than that. Perfect

Another solution is Jack Point jackstands. Work well for me.
