Hands on Demo ... thank you @turbozig
The jack definitely takes care of “Corvette business”. Trial completed today and up to three inches of blocking will be required.
Note: Permanent ACS Composite Jacking Puck is in place (Black Color)
Back tire lifted. Requires 3 inches of blocking under the jack.

Well today we received over 10cm of snow in West Edmonton, so it was a great day to turn up the infrared heater and hang out in the garage. Had a visit from @SN-III and @ddgermann. I thought it was finally a great day to try out the slimline jack. With the vehicle on the ground with tires fully inflated, it took two 2"×6" stacked under the jack to give plenty of clearance for the front and rear tires to clear the ground. We did not raise the jack to the maximum height, but the jack was at just over half of it's extension for the tire to clear the ground. It was then figured that if the non runflats were flat, it would only take one 2"x6" under the jack to remove the wheels. Once your tire is plugged well, remount on the car, lower the jack and then fill the tire with your portable compressor. I will keep two 2x6's and one 1x6 in my trunk. A slightly routered area in one 2x6 for the jack to sit in may be a good idea so the jack can't slide at all. After some discussion, that should be all the blocks required for all jacking situations and non runflats and runflats. Once I get some blocks cut and routered, I will post the final pictures of what is required. @SN-III was taking the pictures and should hopefully be posting them of todays dry run soon. A great day and great results were found!
And the front end 
Double 2x4 stack 2 high for 3” shown.
Determined that 2 pcs of 2x6 will work.

Don't know how I missed the thread. Very cool looking jack.
Not sure what storage is like in the C7 but I think you would want the jack and wood stored securely, that could do a lot of damage if it got loose in the cabin. Just saying.

Just a suggestion... but unless you are jacking on concrete or asphalt, you might want to toss in an extra 2x6 to account for some ground settlement. Be a bugger to get the wheel off, fixed and then not enough height to put it back on... (don't ask me how I know this)....
