Low Profile Jack...

[New C5er]

Yes I do have the jacks. And they are also recommended to be put on the vette and then you lift the baco quickjack with the lower rubber blocks that lift the pucks and raise the car just over 21 inches., Have a low profile jack that I used to use with the hockey style pucks etc. etc. I made my original jacks out of eyelet screws and hockey pucks.

I stopped by Princess Auto yesterday and came across a floor jack that goes down to 2 3/4"...!! 4K lbs
It fits great under my jacking pucks that I use on the C5. It should work well under the C3 crossmember as well. I wanted a long reach jack but this will be fine.
Priced at $159 and I had a $15 discount coupon from the mail... $144 + tax out the door.
It works great, and I already had a section of pool noodle to put over the handle.

I got the same jack 2 Years ago from Princess Auto when it was 50% off for $80, was a sweet deal.

My brother in law has a lift from them easy to set up , just have to remove it each time as it’s to high to drive over.

Regarding the jack from princess auto, will it fit in the storage compartment on my 99 vert? putting together an on the road kit, have a dynaplug kit, now looking for a portable jack that will fit into the storage area in the trunk. maybe a scissor jack for example.

james. The low profile jack being discussed here is a garage floor jack...
Not intended to be carried in the back of the Vette.

Try this discussion for a portable Jack for your storage area.

Answered - portable jack for the C5

I am looking for a small portable jack for the C5. I have a low profile shop jack but it is much too big to take with me on long trips.
