[QUOTE="Black 03 Z06, post: 177580, member: 1852"] DL, not sure if this helps but having a C5 trying to jack up the front is, well, difficult. I built a pair of ramps out of 2 x 8's (I am not wealthy like Eric so no 2 x 10's :Biggrin: ). I cut three pieces of board each one with as steep a miter as my saw would allow. They are about three feet long so the car can just sort of bounce up over each section. There is a stopper on the top piece. This allows me to get the jack under the car then I lift it and take the ramps out and put blocking under the tires. On a C5 the car is supposed to be level to change the oil so the back has to be jacked up and blocked as well. I found not taking the homemade ramps out made it awkward for my wife to crawl under the car to change the oil. The blocking works well, does not get in the way and it solid. Just don't forget to put the ramps back under the wheels before lowering the car. That of course will lead to the stuck jack syndrome which is not good. [/QUOTE]
