I jack up the front end first with 2 jacks on the jacking pucks. Then the correct length of 2 x 8 under the cross member with a jack stand at each end. Then do the back the same way. Gets the car nicely off the ground with lots of room underneath.

I went a little more over board and bought this for a lot more $$$$... Please google quick jack bl5000
Does it come in DSOM?
As Henry Ford said, "you can have it in any color as long as it is black"
I really like those too. I was thinking of building a set. The problem is, build it or buy it, my shop is literally running out of room to store something like that.
I think there's a few CCF members that have said that too..... Graham.... Murray....Derek....just to name a few.... lol...
the billet one is very nice but this one you have is currently on sale in our local flyer for $109 but between Dec 22-31 they have a $25 coupon off for purchases >$75 bringing it to $85
Flyer
The $ 25.00 coupon appears to be expired when you go to their website but it's still a good deal at $ 109.00 Saves 10 bucks off PA's sale price....
This is from another website:
".........
**EDIT** Partsource removed the coupons from their website. They were/are weekly coupons. You can find them in store or in this week's flyers.
The first was $10 off $50.........Nov. 17-23
Next was $25 off $75...............Nov. 24-30
$10 off $50................................Dec. 1-7
$25 off$75.................................Dec. 8- 14
$10 of $50.................................Dec. 15-21
$25 off $75................................Dec. 22-31
........"
when I went in a few weeks ago they had tons of coupons right at each of the front counter screens. The guy did'nt even ask for my coupon he just scanned the barcode off one he had under his screen. May be store specific ( maybe call a few locally...... for YEG, I was at 137 ave and ~140st.
I was in Princess Auto yesterday to pick up stuff and they were handing out Coupons for January...
$15 off a minimum purchase of $75.
It all helps.

I also have the same Jack. Had it for close to two years now and no issue. I also placed a 4 post lift in my garage which is mainly used for storing a car but it certainly comes in handy at times for mechanical work.
I have used rubber pucks that I bought from Princess auto and they are sold as boat dock bumpers. They are the same size as the puck holes in the Corvette. I have used these with my low profile jack on all my cars, but work very well on the Vettes. Very reasonable and protect the car!
This is the jack I bought from Harbor Freight. Light weight and the handle come off easily.

We got these at the shop:
Michelin 2 Ton Low Profile High Lift Service Jack | Canadian Tire
and use a hockey puck as they work perfect with vettes.
I also have a motomaster 1.5 ton low profile at home, not low enough for vettes.

Many moons ago this subject has been discussed and included some homemade jacking pucks. Fore V and Graham (nascar03) built their own and Graham also posted a mod that he had done when he built his of countersinking the bottom T nut. I've taken the liberty of re-posting some pictures from that thread. There is also a youtube link that 81Wayne posted the link to.

Graham's mod pic with the counter sunk T-nut
(Quote) I've made 15+ sets of these, on my Ver 2.1 I counter-bored the T-nut hole in the bottom.
This stops the jack pad from pushing up on the eyebolt when the puck crushes a bit under load.

Here the youtube link to these being made.

Looks like what I have been looking for, for my C5. Will it fit nicely in the storage compartment in the trunk?
This thread is 2 years old JSH so you may not get a reply. Maybe pm the poster you want to ask, or check out this link to a more current forum discussion about jacks.
