Default Need to raise my C5 (NC/VA area)

My C5 is WAY too low for my low profile jack. I know how to raise the car but I'm not confident enough that I could raise it with a proper rake. I would like it at least high enough where I can put in jacking pucks and have my low profile jack fit underneath. I believe the previous owner lowered the car all the way down on the stock bolts.

Anyplace in the Raleigh/Eastern NC or Richmond VA areas that are familiar with C5s I can bring my car too?

You can adjust the bolts yourself, just search here on the forum or youtube. If you want to take it somewhere RPM in Raleigh could do it for you.

You can also run the front or rear tires up on a couple of 2" X 8" boards and gain an inch or more. I do this in my trailer to give me access to the underside to tie the car down.

Good luck... GUSTO
